issue with generating G-code from intercon

Having issue with g code coming from intercon on my CNC, does it correctly off my desktop. I've attached both generated g-codes, go to N0018, notice Z on the retraction move. It has a crazy call out.
What do I need to correct this anomaly?

System ID, 0425120445
I do not have the serial number for the computer, never received it when I bought the computer thru centroid back in I believe 2012

Thanks

This is K100626. Running V3.08 according to report.

I see the retraction move:

N0018 ; Begin code repetitions
; Retraction move
G0 X-1.25 Y-1.0 Z100001.0

What version of offline intercon are you running on the desktop?
Maybe try updating V3.08 on the CNC PC to V3.16. https://www.centroidcnc.com/downloads/s ... v316-D.zip

I just updated the desktop yesterday with the V3.16, I had some real bad issues on my desktop's version is why I did that, it had became corrupt. I'm not sure it didn't make it's way to the Mill as well. I tried loading a report of my desktop, didn't load so not sure what to tell you there.

If you want to try an experiment with v3.08 before updating, edit the program in Intercon and change your Depth Repeat clearance height from incremental to absolute.

That is, arrow down to highlight the 0.500 clearance height, and press F1 to remove the INC flag. Then F10/Accept, F10/Post, and see what you get in the G codes.

Okay, that did work, but, it's a band-aid right now because it's not normal routine for me to do that, I generally just accept the offered INC/ABS mode in clearance. would it benefit me to update the CNC with the V3.16??
