Precautions for creating a new machining program
(1) If an existing program number is designated, it causes an error.
(2) The part enclosed in parentheses ( ) in the head block of the program is used as a comment.
(3) If an existing file is set, the message "Designated file already exists" appears.
(4) Single-byte digits, single-byte uppercase alphabet characters, and Windows-recognizable single-byte symbols are
available for the file name or directory name. Therefore, a double-byte code file name such as a Japanese file name
cannot be used.
Characters which cannot be used: \ / : , * ?" < > | a to z and space
Also, the followings cannot be treated as file names:
File name with extension "$$$", "$$0", "$$1", "$$2", "$$3", "$$4", "$$5", "$$6", "$$7", "$$8", or "$$9"
"0" (File named "single-byte zero")
(5) A program, which has a file name consisting of 33 or more characters, cannot be newly created.
(6) If the parameter "#8936 Delete leading 0" is set to "1" and the file name is designated only by digits, the existing file,
edit lock B, and edit lock C are checked by deleting "0" at the head.
For details, refer to "4.8.6 Leading Zero".
