| The % symbol is used in a print code table when there
| is a nested sequence.  It sounds like you are using a
| print code that contains a %s sequence.  It probably
| should have been a % followed by a print code number. 
| At any rate it sounds like there is corruption in the
| print code table that you are using.  I would suggest
| that you go into printer maintenance on the proper
| table and see if you can find the %s

I think Mark had it right, and that it's coming from dreport
or rreport.  That's a literal string in both of those binaries,
an the %s should be replaced by a string when the error msg
prints, but it's not ???
