2.4 PROGRAM SEARCH

(Supplements)
(1) Search starts in the position set in the tape reader. (In the label skip status, control jumps to
the first EOB.)
(2) After the search is completed, the searched block is read and the tape reader stops.
(3) If the NC is reset during search, the search stops. If the NC is reset after search is completed,
the unsearched status returns.
(4) If the specified block has not been found after the data to the EOR is read, the following
message is displayed: "E03 NB NOT FOUND"
If control parameter "% RWD (SEARCH)" is OFF, the tape will stop at the EOR of the program
end. If the parameter is ON, the tape will be rewound to the EOR of the program head and will
stop there.
(Note) Even if control parameter "% RWD (SEARCH)" is ON, the tape will not be rewound if
I/O DEVICE PARAM "REWIND CODE" has not been set correctly.
The rewind code depends on the I/O device used. Refer to the I/O device manual for
rewind code details.
(Example) When the tape was searched for N1 from a halfway position, the tape end was
reached before N1 was found. (When "% RWD (SEARCH)" is ON)
% ; N1G ; N2 ; N3 ; %

key after rewind, the tape
is searched for N1.
Error "E03 NB NOT FOUND"
(5) If the target program number is not specified, the tape will be searched for only N and B. This
does not relate to the program numbers in the tape.
(6) If the
INPUT
key is pressed after normal tape search is completed and other information
including another NB is set, search will be executed. If a block stop status is entered after
search is completed and the automatic running status is entered by pressing the automatic
start button once, tape search will not be executed.
(7) After tape search is completed, "1" is retained in the setting field of TAPE ( ). Thus, the value
does not need to be set for each tape search. Only when memory search is desired to be
executed, set "0" in the setting field of TAPE ( ).
(8) The "LSK" display is cleared when the first EOB is read. It is displayed at reset or EOR read
time.
