I have an offline solution that addresses this sort of thing. It translates
your parametric macro's to NC code and you can check and run that without
worry.

Thanks for the offer but that particular problem has already been
attended to. I'm more concerned about establishing proper procedures
so that kind of thing cannot happen again.

Using "standard" non-macro code (as from a postprocessor)
would allow limits to be applied perhaps and reduce the odds of such
happening again ....

Nope.

"Somewhere along the line someone pressed the RESET key at the
exactly the wrong moment. On all but that machine that would not
have mattered but on that one machine it cleared a number of #
variables which would not have been touched on the other machines
in the same circumstances. This only mattered on the one 20 line
program."

That's where it went wrong and nothing that was in the program would
have made any difference from that point. Scary, innit? :-)
