Management of numerical control data from the ICEM DDN products
NCPART is a procedure developed by the Numerical Control Department at Bendix Kansas City Division to handle the entry to and exit from ICEM DDN, and process all of the local files output by ICEM DDN. The NCPART procedure is menu driven, and provides automatic access to ICEM DDN and any files necessary to process information with ICEM for Numerical Control users. Basically, the procedure handles all of the ICEM DDN operations that involve operating system commands, and frees the NC Programmer to concentrate on his/her work as a programmer. Most NC Programmers at BKC are well versed in the use of operating system commands for attaching and cataloging files, but the use of procedures makes the programmer's job much simpler, especially in the case of ICEM, where multiple files must be present in order to take advantage of the available features. Also, much is dependent on what an individual plans to do once in ICEM, because different applications require different files, and all of these files may not be needed at any given user session.
