A workpiece directory can be selected for execution in a channel. If a main program with the
same name or only a single main program (_MPF) is stored in this directory, this is
automatically selected for execution.

If the search path is not specified explicitly in the part program when a subprogram
(or initialization file) is called, the calling program searches in a fixed search path.
Subprogram call with absolute path
Example
Program code
...
CALL"/_N_CST_DIR/_N_CYCLE1_SPF"
...
Subprogram call without absolute path
Programs are usually called without specifying a path.
Example
Program code
...
