Rotating B inside a loop command

Question
I have a cylinder with 6 holes on the side, I program 1 hole and create a loop to do the other 5. My cmm head (Renishaw PH10M) starts at A90B-90. My cylinder is in the Z axis direction, I am working on some code to set the B rotation with a variable but no success can use some help if anyone knows of a way to solve this. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bob

What sles said, in your code - 'VANG' is a constant of 35.

Untested:

ASSIGN/VANG = 35
V1 =LOOP/START, ID = YES, NUMBER = 4, START = 1, SKIP = ,
OFFSET: XAXIS = 0, YAXIS = 0, ZAXIS = 0, ANGLE = 36
[COLOR="Red"]ASSIGN/TIPSTR = STR("T1A-90B")+VANG[/COLOR]
CIR A =FEAT/CONTACT/CIRCLE,CARTESIAN,IN,LEAST_SQR
