    Check for "Alarm 73 - PROGRAM NUMBER ALREADY IN USE" not active?

    on my machine (MSG-500 Fanuc 18i) if I read in a program that has the same O-number as one already in the memory that program is overwritten with the new program. Is there a parameter to stop/enable the overwriting and instead generate an alarm? I checked the parameter manual but can't see anything? I remember on Fanuc 0/10/11/12/15/16 that alarm 73 will come up "PROGRAM NUMBER ALREADY IN USE". On the newer 18i series it just overwrites the program! argghh! :/
