Hi All,

We put a lot of machinist information into our programs, usually 5 to 10
lines of text per PROCESS STEP. Needless to say, the STEP NOTES section of
the Job Planner is woefully underpowered in this respect.

To work around this, we write separate text files that correspond to each
step. Then we call these files into the TMP file by using USER EVENTs in
each process model. Yes, it is as cumbersome as it sounds.

What we would LIKE to do is to call the files in through the PROCESS STEP
LIST. We have pulled in user variables into the TMP file by defining them in
the JOB INFO section of the Job Plan. Unfortunately, when we try to
re-define the variables in the STEP NOTES section of the Job Planner all we
get is the literal text (i.e. #S10=4G000400.001).

Does anyone have any suggestions that will allow us to get more text into
the machine code without so many "work-arounds"? Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated, thanks.
