Well the problem is "fixed" which means they changed the block's MODOPT to a 4 and got it to work correctly with a bit of retuning. We know the params from the iccprt were the same before & after. Whether the running params had been correctly uploaded I don't know. Did the IA version change? I think so. Weird, but not worth worrying about. Thanks y'all.
