Assignment Shortcuts and their meanings?

Hi guys!
I've been a CMM Programmer for two years.
There are many things I don't know.
What I want to learn most is the Assignment command.
How do these commands work and what do they mean?
What do the abbreviated names mean?
Can you help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

  • The Pc-Dmis help menu could be of some help as far as figuring out what abbreviated names to use and which ones to stay away from. For a example, like stated above, an Assignment of your machine name could look like this... ASSIGN/MACHINE_NAME, ASSIGN/MCHNAME, ASSIGN/I_LIKE_TURTLES, etc. What you want to stay away from is special characters of those used for computational purposes like +, -, *, /, and/or whatever makes your text color RED is not recommended/acceptable like for example ASSIGN/MACHINE-NAME, ASSIGN/I+AM+COOL.

    It's best if you use something descriptive that you or anyone could understand. Some go with shorter names others use up a good amount of the allotted string length but suffer once when typing out such a long string at the expense of being super descriptive.
