Well, thank you roboprof. Goofy thing for them to do in such a way, but I guess it is what it is.

I was reading up on it some yesterday and the manual said something about if it is in a NORMAL task then it kind of throws away the data on program stop. See IError info in manual; Instructions, Functions and Datatypes.

Since you are in MI that is not actually unfortunate. You can check out ICR and there is this auction going on in Lordstown, OH:

Those in the catalog might be bigger than what you want or need.

Thanks, but what is it that they expect me to check? It seems equivalent to check engine light in today's cars.

PROC main()
!setup for error trapping
CONNECT err_interrupt WITH trap_err;
IError COMMON_ERR, TYPE_ALL, err_interrupt;
!
WHILE bZ_Reloop=TRUE DO
!
Incr nCycleCount;
!
rDoSomething;
!
WaitTime 1.0;
ENDWHILE
IDelete err_interrupt;
ENDPROC
Are you getting any runtime errors or do you see that it does not seem to be working at all? Is this in a background task?

Actually, not too long ago I received this e-mail from our regional contact, just copied relevant parts here.
Here are some additional resources from motoman.com that can also help:

Oh yes, sorry DX200 controller. I should have known better to include that. Shame on me.
-
Ok, I checked and it is still there. Could Motoman be any more vague with this message? Robot runs ok no errors, but I sure would like to know what it expects me to check and then to acknowledge that message so it goes away. Thanks all.

And again, knowing your location in at least country or region like Europe, North America would help us to help you.

I never mess with pgf, seems king of useless. If your system does not have all the correct files after creating from backup, try to do a restore from the virtual fp of the system using a good backup.
-
When you create the system from backup it should not do as you described. The contents of the HOME folder are nnot necessarily loaded into the program memory. What you see in the backup in the RAPID folder for Task0, Task1 and so on will have sub folders for PROGMOD and SYSMOD, those will have the modules in them that were actually loaded at the time the backup was made.

No one will be able to tell you where your tooldata is. That is because it will be wherever the programmer decided to declare it. The old school way would be to put it in your USER.SYS module. But it can be reall in any module, program or system module. Once you do get your station going without errors you can use the search function to tell where things are actually being used or stored, like you said.

This part here looks like you are looking for a stop program system input:
If "EntryReq = 1" stops the robot and when "EntryReq = 0" the robot restarts. Not worked in the robotics world since school so blame it ..
Other thiings in your explanation kind of point towards a procedure call in which the robot checks periodically, say after each routine and waits for that input to be off before proceeding. I have seen that here and there, nothing wrong with that.
-
You will have to add it into your mmc.cfg. I also think that you will need to have it in a system module, NOSTEPIN attribute.

Please post a pic of the TP showing the error.

You could use TriggL or TriggJ to set a value like a group output (can be sim group) for each motion. Or make your own MyMove routine into which you pass a value to set a num value.

And there is also this thread here:

Did you already read this article here on the forum?
What do I have to pay attention to when buying a used robot?

Did you try to use the system builder to create the system? It should allow you to choose the 5.16 rw.
