So,
I guess I'm in the process of becoming less of a newbie.
I've written a piece of g-code (o-code?). The purpose of this code is to put a surface on a given area. I have been hoping to make it really accessable, so that the primary program variables will be easy to alter for any user.
I wrote the code, and now I would like to load it into my machine, but when I try the EMC2 Axis interface simply hangs. It is a very simple piece of code (at least from a programming perspective)
What can I do to make this load/work?
Thanks,
Bill
Code:

#11 = 5 (X Max)
#12 = 4 (X Min)
#19 = #11 (X Current Location - Start at Max)
#21 = 4 (Y Max)
#22 = 3 (Y Min)
#23 = 0.2 (Y Step)
#28 = [0 - #23] (Y Step with Direction - Start out Decrementing)
#29 = #21 (Y Current Location - Start at Max)
#31 = 1.2 (Z Max)
#32 = 1 (Z Min)
#33 = 0.05 (Z Step)
#39 = #31 (Z Current Location - Start at Max)
g0 x#19 y#29 z#39 (Set Starting Point)
o1 while [ #39 GT #32 ] (Z loop steps down)

o5 if [#28 LT 0] (If step direction is down, step down. Else step up)
o2 while [#29 GT #22] (Y loop steps down)
g0 y#29
o3 if [#19 EQ #11 ] (X pass min to max to min)
#19 = #12
