M63 and G2/G3 in radius mode

Running into a unique problem.  I use M62 P00 to turn on a laser.  The problem is with arc moves (G2/3).  It reads the P word after M62 as total circular loops and I get an error.  Is there a work around?

Example

G2 X54.06 Y40.87 R0.15 M62 P00
G2 X54.24 Y41.03 R0.18 M62 P00

Note:
I tried
G2 X54.06 Y40.87 R0.15 P01 M62 P00
G2 X54.24 Y41.03 R0.18 P01 M62 P00
and I get an error for too many P words

Any ideas?  Thanks
