named subroutine call not working?

I have version axis 2.4.6 and trying to get a named subroutine to call and run. I have reread the instructions and looked at some examples and I can't figure out any difference.

the call looks like:

o<settoollength> call

and in settoollength.ngc

o<settoollength> sub
.
.
.
o<settoollength> endsub
M02

Please help

In your .ini file

[DISPLAY]
PROGRAM_PREFIX = /the/path/to/the/folder/with/subs/in

(Try just putting (MSG, Inside the Sub) into the sub and call it from the MDI line to test)

regards

Make sure the settoollength.ngc has execute permissions.

Right click on file, click properties (or something like that)
Then click on permissions tab. then under owner, click execute checkbox.

Or at command line

chmod u+x settoollength.ngc

It actually does not need to be executable, it is not executed, just read.
Unlike M Code files, it will work quite happily with 644 (creator RW, everyone else R), but setting it executable will do no harm.

Normally the problem is the path

My mistake.. I was confusing O call with M code files.

Thanks for the correction!

What actually happens when you try to run it?
Where are the files located?
