Program Numbers

This subheader enables you to define the range of numbers that can be used for both the main program and first subroutine procedure generated in the output NC-program.

Parameter Name	Description	PRP Name
Min Program Number	Lowest program number permitted.	min_program_number
Max Program Number	Highest program number permitted.	max_program_number
Min Procedure Number	Lowest procedure number permitted.	min_proc_number
Max Procedure Number	Highest procedure number permitted.	max_proc_number

In the CAM-Part Definition, the Program numbers must be within the defined ranges.

For some machines, the program and subroutine numbers cannot be the same.

SolidCAM does not warn about this problem. As a safeguard, you could set the program range from 1 to 5000 and the subroutine range from 5001 to 9999.
