SPOST L
or SPOST M The name of the postprocessor (SPOST L is Lathe and SPOST M is Mill).
n The required machine number.
ON Causes the postprocessing to begin, which is the default.
OFF Terminates postprocessing of all following CL records until ON is programmed.
CIRCUL Causes circular interpolation blocks to be output for the circular motion in the .INC and CL file, which is the default.
LINEAR Generates linear interpolation blocks for the circular motion in the .INC and CL file.
OPTION Specifies the option number n1 to be set to the value v1.
The options are described in the PLABEL/OPTION section, since these two commands are synonymous.

The Auto Break feature is activated if you enter values for LENGTH, TYPE, MODIFY, and PULBAC. The postprocessor automatically generates a BREAK sequence once the minimum tape footage is exceeded. If TYPE has a non-zero value associated with it, the BREAK sequence is generated on the next occurrence of the major word indicated by TYPE. If the maximum footage is exceeded, a warning message is output.
LENGTH Specifies the minimum and maximum footage desired when using the Auto Break feature.
TYPE Specifies the major word or words on which the Auto Break feature is to act.
t Is a composite number containing any and all of the digits 1, 2, 3, or 4, where the following conditions are true:
is BREAK on length minimum
is GOHOME
is LOADTL (M) or TURRET (L)
is OPSTOP
is STOP
MODIFY Allows the PARTNO to be altered for each break.
c1 Is the PARTNO to be altered for each break.
c2 Is the starting character increment in the ASCII array. See PLABEL.OPTION 9 through 16 for the character locations. c2 must be between 32 and 96; it is incremented by one for each auto break. If c2 increments to 96, it remains at 96.
PULBAC During Auto Break, a pull-back move can be generated to clear the part.
dx,dy,dz (M) Are the delta values along each axis desired for the move. Note that all three values must be specified. Use zero if you do not want a move along an axis.
dx,dy (L) Are the delta values along each axis desired for the move. Note that both values must be specified. Use zero if you do not want a move along an axis.
