Post Processor output for Program Name...

Good morning.

 

I have 2 post processors, from a previous user here at work (who is no longer here).

 

Attached are some pics I will refer to...

 

 

One of the posts, posting to a Yasda Milling machine makes the Program Number (inside the NC output file) the same as the "Name" field (O1101 for example), no matter what is in the "Program Number" field of the NC Program dialogue.

 

In the first picture, highlighted in Yellow, is my NC Program name, I set in PowerMill.

 

Highlighted in Green is the Program Number field, in PowerMill.

 

In the 2nd pic, highlighted in Blue (Line N2), is the Program name, set in the NC output file.

 

This is what I want both posts to do...

 

 

 

My other post, posting to a Makino Milling machine, does something different.

 

When the NC output file is posted out, it sets the Program name, in the NC output File, to whatever is in the "Program Number" field (Highlighted in Green in the first pic), and disregards what is in the "Name" field (Highlighted in Yellow in the first pic).

 

I have tried to dig, and compare between the 2 posts, to see how the Yasda Post sets the Program name, INSIDE the NC output file, to be what is in the "Name" field, in the NC Program Dialogue.  Again, this is what I would like to see from both posts.

 

Could someone help me find the area in the Makino post, that I can change, to get the NC output file to have the Program name (Highlighted Blue) to ALWAYS be what is in the NC Program dialogue "Name" field...
