RE: Rather urgent CPYTOSTMF problem

That might be it then, during the installation of WDSC that directory was 
created, so in a way WDSC did cause it, but due to our lack of knowledge rather 
than anything wrong with WDSC or anything else for that matter.

And we have taken on board that bit about relative pathnames, basically the guy 
here just copied a setup someone had made before and changed it for this 
purpose, we both ahve to read up on this stuff.

Thanks again

More than likely, the user profile's home directory has always been
/home/AGCSYSBH but that until recently, that directory didn't exist.

If the specified home directory doesn't exist, then the system uses / as
the current directory.

Once the specified home directory was created, the system started using
home directory as the current directory.

As everybody has pointed out, you shouldn't be using relative pathnames.

Yes.  Your profile may have changed.  Up until recently, your 
user profile's
default initial folder may have been '/', but now it is 
/home/AGCSYSBH.
That's the danger of using a relative path (one that doesn't 
start with a
'/') as opposed to an absolute path (one that does).

You can do a "CD /" (as Francis pointed out) to set your 
current directory
and things will work the way you have them written, or you 
can change your
paths to be absolute as we have been suggesting and not have 
this problem
crop up again.

But this worked up to recently and none of these things 

have been changed.

Is there something else outside the program that may affect 

this that

someone else may have changed?
