RE: Rather urgent CPYTOSTMF problem

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?
