When you run a subprogram (i.e. m98 p1234 L10) is there a register or other accessible variable that can be accessed to display the current loop number, the number of loops left and number of loops requested?

TIA

Well...  no.  Other than the way G code already gives you.  This is usually done in the G code with a #var.  Set the var to zero before the M98 L10 call and in the sub increment the #var.
