Macro for toolchange 0i MC

I have a customer with a machining center , Fanuc 0i mc , and an umbrella type (carousel) toolchanger. He needs to index this toolchanger , in a
program , to prevent the long tools from intefering with a high component on the table.
The machine is a Johnford VMC.
The toolchange macro looks as follows:
%
O9000
#100=#4001
#101=#4003
#102=#4120
#103=#1032AND255
#104=BIN[#103]
IF[#102LT1]GOTO2000
IF[#102GT24]GOTO2000
IF[#102EQ#104]GOTO1000
G91G00G30Z0.M80 (SEARCH SPINDLE TOOL NUMBER)
M81 (CAROUSEL FORWARD)
M87 (TOOL RELEASE IN SPINDLE)
G28Z0.M77 (AIR BLAST ON IN SPINDLE)
T#149 (SEARCH TOOL NUMBER CALLED IN PROGRAM)
G30Z0.M77
M88 (TOOL CLAMP)
M86 (UPDATE TOOL NUMBER IN SPINDLE)
M82 (CAROUSEL RETRACT)
N1000G#100#101
GOTO3000
N2000#3000=20(TOOLNO. ALARM)
N3000M99
%
This macro is called by the T code , parameter 6001 bit 5 is set to a 1.
Even if this bit gets made zero and then gets called by M6 by changing the macro no to 9001 , and then using a T code to try and index the turret ,
nothing happens
Any ideas

Deon,
1) Change parameter 6001#5 to 0
2) Change the name of subprogram O9001 to O9020
3) Change parameter 6080 to 6 (M code that calls the custom macro of program number 9020)
I use these method in Yang machine's, and works very well whithout problems.

I have tried your suggestion , but the turret does not index with a T code .
Something in the plc is preventing it.
