Macro variable name

Hello, I want to have a name for each of the permanent variables I use like #500 TAILSTK this is on a fanuc 0i control, seems like I did this on another 0i but I cant get this to work, tryed the setvn in MDI with no luck, is there a parameter that needs to be turned on? Thanks

Yes you can do it. We do it with 0i-MD controls.
I would have to look for parameters.
You want a comment to disllay in the macros page? Or you just want to declare variable names for use within that program?

thanks for the reply, yes I want to just display in the variable page

The Variable Names that you register will only be visible from the Pattern Data Menu, the variable page will not display them.

Here is a copy of our O9501:

You can extrapolate from here, or reference your Parameter Manual Appendix-A for the Character Code List.

If you figure out a way to get the names to display on the variable page, please let us know!
