13. CUSTOM MACRO

Once G66 is issued to specify a modal call a macro is called after a block
specifying movement along axes is executed. This continues until G67
is issued to cancel a modal call.

P : Number of the program to call
ȏ : Repetition count (1 by default)
Argument : Data passed to the macro
S After G66, specify at address P a program number subject to a modal
call.
S When a number of repetitions is required, a number from 1 to 9999 can
be specified at address L.
S As with a simple call (G65), data passed to a macro program is
specified in arguments.
When a G67 code is specified, modal macro calls are no longer performed
in subsequent blocks.
Calls can be nested to a depth of four levels including simple calls (G65)
and modal calls (G66). This does not include subprogram calls (M98).
Modal calls can be nested by specifying another G66 code during a modal
call.
S In a G66 block, no macros can be called.
S G66 needs to be specified before any arguments.
S No macros can be called in a block which contains a code such as a
miscellaneous function that does not involve movement along an axis.
S Local variables (arguments) can only be set in G66 blocks. Note that
local variables are not set each time a modal call is performed.
