Important: If a program is active, an “A” appears to the right of the
program name. If a program is being edited, an “E” appears to the right of
the program name. Figure 7.2 shows program TEST as active and being
edited. Make sure no part program is currently already active. If a part
program is currently active the control will not allow the selection of a
different part program until the currently active one is deactivated (refer to
section 7.4 on deactivating a part program).
