As you showed in your first post, you can "save" the results of a probe operation to another numbered parameter, if you want to use it during the same part program.
The results of (PROBEOPEN) are for processing with some other software according to the various needs of different users. If you want to use that number during a different part program, you can decide on a parameter number to communicate between the two part programs. By inserting that number in your .var file along with a dummy value (edit the .var file only while emc is not open!) the variable will now be saved from run to run and part program to part program. Keep the .var file in order. If this still doesn't answer your question, please try to be more specific about what you'd like to do.
