Fanuc accepts no decimal point in dwell

My Fanuc Oi-MC control does not accept the decimal point that is output for the dwell time.
However, it needs the decimal point for the X, Y and Z movements.

The dwell time is programmed in milliseconds. So 'P2000' means a dwell of 2 second.
Example: N630 G82 X-27.2 Y31.122 Z11.022 R17.122 P2000. F127
Is there a way to get the dwell output without a decimal point?

The dwell time is output without a decimal point in VisualMILL 2012. This was one of the enhancements that was worked on for the 2012 release.
