Code G03 has error, output of P instead of R on the radius

I am getting an error with radius for G02 and G03 codes.  When I make the cuts and simulation everything looks good, but when I post process thats when thing go bad.  For the program settings i turn ON radius and turn OFF write machine and OFF for write Tools.  so when im looking at the script the Radius in the code is the letter P and not R, so i manually change all P's to R's and then i get an error says start and end point of X is the same, like it doesnt post it,  here is an example of my error for the P:

 

G17 G3 X-0.3454 Y1.0495 P0.0114
G1 X-0.3377 Y1.036
G2 X-0.3574 Y1.0248 P0.0114
X-0.3589 Y1.0304 P0.0114
G3 X-0.3707 P0.0059

 

when i turn, use Radius off this is the error i get: K work given for arc in XY plane, whether G02 or G03

 

G1 Z0.0962 F8
G17 G3 X-0.3283 Y1.0265 Z0.0932 I-0.3449 J1.0452 K0.6001

 

I dont get why its doing either of errors and i dont want to have to manually change this every time.  What is program is is part of a TEXT that is exploded and extruded so i am not doing anything special.
