3.7.1.6 Defining position programming rule
Introduction to position naming
Robot positions in a RAPID program are either named variables or not named
(using the asterisk character, *). The programmer can choose which naming rule
the FlexPendant should use when new move instructions are programmed.

Position programming rules
This section gives a detailed description of the options available when programming
robot positions, here referred to as
targets . This signifies the position to which the
mechanical unit is programmed to move.
New targets can be named according to any of these principles:
• New position created; * or sequential naming rule.
• Next sequential already existing position selected.
• No new position created; * naming rule.
New position created; * or sequential naming rule
This is the default setting. When a move instruction is programmed, a new target
will automatically be created. If the last target was named, that is
not using an “*”,
the new target will be named in sequence with the previous one.
