have single part program that is somewhat long and complex, was looking for any suggestions/help on how to run this program for multiple parts on one set up, using macros, thank you.

Why not just use subs and a different work coordinate system for each part? You shouldn't need to bother with macros.

I hope it is M98. Not M97.. Is it so in Hass Machine?

[kwhite2]

yes true, but wanted to see if there are options using macros to cut down size of program.......using probe updates, tool checks and multiple work offsets on the single part program.....HAAS VF 4 with 5 axis trunion.
