I've spoke to Fanuc. They were not much help.I can punch out programs and not read them. This is weird. The stuff I read about parameters, they all pan out OK. The info about program numbers in the 8000-9000 range might be the problem. I recently started using the date as my program numbers. So as of August and September my program numbers have been 9221 or 9231 as the month date and program numeral. I wonder if this has something to do with it? I wonder if Al the man might know ?
