Could you give me a specific example of this issue it fixed, I think it was something like ps -o %%blah or something like that but that specific example I get a (correct) error message.

Hi Craig,

Without that patch, when I try:
     ps/pscommand -o "%p %G{"

I get:
         PID GROUP   {
       12793 warnerjc{
       14486 warnerjc{

Or if I do:
     ps/pscommand -o "%p %%a"

that yields:
         PID %a
       12793 %a
       14497 %a

But with the patch I get these instead:
     error: improper AIX field descriptor
     error: missing AIX field descriptor

Regards,

Jim
