I think you want to check the Tooling section, not the Operation section.
The tool section number for a 
face mill is 2420103, the operation section for face milling is 1030103.

#IF(JOS(TM_SECTION)=2420103)<#EVAL(what ever you want)>//Face Mill

I have also attached a macro that I just recorded to help show which JOS
variables are which.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Job Operations Setup Section Numbers??


Thank you Frederick Lauzus for your help on changing jos(tl_len) when
reading in a jsf file, to convert it to a jof file.

My next question is, how do I find the "job operation setup section number"
for a Face Mill?

Why? When a Face Mill operation from a V4.5  jsf file is read into V11.5 the
"cradius" and "sideang" are not correct.

So what I would like to do is add an IF/ENDIF test of something like, 

IF(jos(???)=1030103  for Face Milling is true then
change the cradius, sideang and the tl_len.

My question is, I cannot find the appropriate Job Operation Data Tag to
check.
jos(op_type) returns 103.0

Any help is greatly appreciated.
