4.7 Structuring Programs

This TNC function enables you to comment part programs in

structuring blocks. Structuring blocks are short texts with up to 244

characters and are used as comments or headlines for the subse-

quent program lines.

With the aid of appropriate structuring blocks, you can organize long

and complex programs in a clear and comprehensible way. This

function is particularly convenient if you want to change the pro-

gram later. Structuring blocks can be inserted into the part program

at any point. They can also be displayed in a separate window, and

edited or added to, as desired. A second level is provided for

subdividing a structuring block. The texts in this level are indented.

window:
