Laser mode - All movement logs as G1 X0*nn

in General
Hi I am new to repetier host for Laser 
     Host is latest as of today
     Firmware is Repetier latest of today

I can home my machine and jog it around with manual controls.
The Laser comes on and off correctly 
If I enter a G01 move manually, I get a zero return 
e.g.
G01 X100Y100F2400
Log shows 
16:13:22.743 : N77710 G1 X0*102

What am I missing?

I have partially configured Z axis - I can operate the end stop switch manually when homing, but this changes nothing

Thanks

I send the following G code

M452
G4 P1
G21
G28 X0Y0
G00 X13.5644Y10.0968 
M3 S255
G01 X13.2975Y11.1938F2400
G01 X130.00Y11.00F2400
G01 X130Y120F2400
G01 X10Y120F2400
G01 X13.2400Y12.0000F2400
M5
M5
M05

The LCD shows Xw,Yw,Zw as 0.00 X:,Y:,Z: as alternate 0.00 and ?.??
Mul=47%  Las=0.0w 
Stepper disabled 

this is the log  see lines 77756-9

    You are missing spaces. Unlike some CNC gcode flavours, you require a space between parameters otherwise X100Y100 means x with coordinate 100Y100 which is not a number hence 0.

    Many thanks , that fixed the problem.

    Below is a shell script that may fix the problem for anyone experiencing a similar problem.

    # Repetier seems to handle negative Z (cuts) as laser on, and positiveZ (moves) as laser off
    #          so we don't need to translate to M3 and M5 respectively as below 
    #
    #-e 's/G01 Z0.1000/M5/' -e's/G01 Z-0.1000/M3/'

    mkdir -p ../repetier;

    for f in *
       do 
        if test -f "$f" 
           then
                echo " Fixing $f";
               sed -e 's/\([[:alpha:]]\)/ \1/g' -e 's/^ //' -e 's/  / /' $f >../repetier/$f;
        fi
       done
