Macro and Z fixture offset

Hello all,
We have a Fadal with a MP control and a Renishaw tool length probe. I wrote a macro to establish a distance from the tool probe to the top of my part and write that number to a Z value in a fixture offset. The macro basically subtracts the actual absolute Z value from the tool length offset and writes the difference to the fixture offset. My problem is that the macro requires the operator to jog the slides in the middle of the program to touch the tool to the top of the part. When you continue the program the machine always returns the Z axis to where it was prior to the jogged move.
I hope this long-winded explanation makes sense!!
