---|---|
In-Macro Linear |
This format is similar to the Linear Move format, but it is only used within a macro definition (without the <Z-COORD> reserved word). In_Macro Move program formats can be set to generate absolute, or incremental output. For incremental output, Post does not duplicate path data for translations. Post positions to the translated location and 'calls' the original incremental macro. Also refer to Incremental Programming Rules. |
In-Macro Circular |
This format is similar to the Circular Move format, but it is only used within a macro definition (without the <Z-COORD> reserved word). In_Macro Move program formats can be set to generate absolute, or incremental output. For incremental output, Post does not duplicate path data for translations. Post positions to the translated location and 'calls' the original incremental macro. Also refer to Incremental Programming Rules. |
Open Macro |
This format specifies the format of the lines preceding the macro definition (start delimiter). The <MACRO#> reserved word must be used. A preparatory function code (for example, incremental for defining incremental macros) can also be used. |
Close Macro |
This format specifies the format of the lines following a macro (end delimiter) definition. A preparatory function code may be used to redefine the absolute specification (that is, if the main program starts in the absolute mode). |
Macro Call |
This format specifies the format of a line for 'calling' a macro. The reserved word <MACRO#> must be used to identify the macro. |
