B–64114EN/01
280
D Local variables from level 0 to 4 are provided for nesting.
D The level of the main program is 0.
D Each time a macro is called (with G65 or G66), the local variable level
is incremented by one. The values of the local variables at the previous
level are saved in the CNC.
D When M99 is executed in a macro program, control returns to the
calling program. At that time, the local variable level is decremented
by one; the values of the local variables saved when the macro was
called are restored.

Move the tool beforehand along the X– and Z–axes to the position where
a drilling cycle starts. Specify Z or W for the depth of a hole, K for the
depth of a cut, and F for the cutting feedrate to drill the hole.
