G00 is a move command but you do not have a location (X, Y, or Z) to go to. Look at line 2710 and you can see it has a Z location to go to.

Problem in file g code ?????

G00 with no coordinates should not cause a problem. It is more likely the problem is with the previous line, M800. What does your M800 macro do?

I think there may be a setting in mach3 that says stop at unknown gcodes or skip unknown gcodes (there is in uccnc)

May be on the general configuration tab

Rob,

I was thinking the same as Les because G0 is a modal command and simply puts the CNC controller in rapid speed mode. I was under the impression that you can put XY locations in a subsequent line, and so long as the mode has not been changed by G1 or whatever, the axis would move at rapid speed to the XY locations.
Checked the Mach3 gcode manual but it did not say if omitting the XY locations after the G0 will cause any issues.

I was referring to m800 being unknown and being skipped or stopping motion at not G0
