    enabling costum macro b on a fanuc om controller

    Hi, i hope this is the right place to post this question.

    We have recently acquired an old leadwell machine with a fanuc om controller. we tried to run a g-code generated by solidcam, but whenever the machine reaches a line that contains a "#" symbol, a ps 004 alarm pops.
    I read online that the # is for variable decleration in a programming method called costum macro b. we asked a tech guy, and he said that our controller supports this type of programming, but we have to enable it by changing some parameters (he doesnt remmember which exactly).
    So, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks,
    Tom
