Hey guys, I'm trying to DNC a program off the hard drive in the machine due to its size, but when I try to run it, it says loops and macros are not allowed in DNC mode. Is there a way I can allow this? I don't see why it doesn't like this.

Thanks

Because in DNC it uses one line of data at a time. It cannot go back to the beginning of a loop or a macro if it has already been read through.
It is not kept in memory to be referred to..
Loops and macros are used to make big programs smaller to fit in a control's memory. DNC makes this irrelevant.
Sorry, just the way it is.

Thanks, I'm a total newb at this stuff. I got this figured out now.
