Re: Bizarre CPYTOSTMF issue

[B Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was going to suggest maybe someone changed the command default for the
ENDLINFMT, but because you said you explicitly said you added it and still
had the same issue, I'd say that the issue is an OS one.

Did it start happening after applying any PTFs?  Installing any 3rd party
software?  I know these are hard to figure out, though.

There's not any copies of the command or processing programs in other
places on the system, are there?
