Post processor - order of end of path events

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows where the order of things are set for opstop & stop commmands in the end of tool paths?
I have a custom command which is run in the End of Path section of Operation End Sequence - it gets parameters from a UDE and doesn't work in other End of Seq sections as variables aren't available. I want this command to output before the opstop or stop commands but can't find any way of doing so. In the debug lister my command runs before MOM_stop (which is before MOM_end_of_path) but lists no output from event and then outputs after the M0 stop code. Ideally I would like to move the stop to after the end of path section.
Thanks in Advance

Cheers

Are you outputting in your proc or are you globalling in the proc and then outputting in another command? If you want the ude to run before other ude's you must output in your proc. Maybe post your code if that doesn't explain it.
 
Hi shags72,
I have tried outputting in the proc using MOM_output_literal and also tried outputting using a custom address set to the global variable. I have tried running the proc in start of sequence and outputting in end of path but the global variable is undefined.
Any idea where the M0 is coming from?
Thanks In Advance

Could you let me see the code and where exactly it is in your post? The M0 could be coming from a ude that is unseen as far as you know. I have had programmers put things on the tool, method, operation and even inside operations by editing the tool path. Sometimes it is very difficult to find. Or hopefully it is in the end of operation line somewhere in your post and you can move it.
 
Hi Shags72
Will have to wait till Tuesday when I am back to work.

I got it working by putting output into machine control stop command prior to output of stop. Am also going to look at putting it into the rapid move to see if that works.
Thanks for your help shags72
