Does 'same' mean 'now always works' or 'some logons work, other give
 -11s'?

If the former, do you have file equates in a LOGON UDC? If so, a prior
'RESET @', or similar, could have produced a session in which programs
won't work. But logging on again will allow them to, because a LOGON UDC
will re-establish the required file equates.
