Or they could use "%08X" to tell printf to tag on the leading zeros - no
counting needed.
Here's one that always looks strange to me:
"You have 1 records"
I think that *does* take some extra C coding to fix unless someone can
tell me some printf tricks.
Years ago I wrote some assembler macros and subroutines to simulate C
string routines, including printf. I seem to remember having logic that
would scan the next word in the source string looking for a trailing S,
and would drop it if the number displayed was 1. For example:
#PRINTF 'You have %d records',COUNT
... would result in good grammar no matter what number was displayed.

The error reason is actually 0B7F1C00, it's the C/C++ library functions being
called from within copytree command (like printf, fprint, etc) that drop
leading zeroes. I've seen it many times in error messages from z/UNIX commands
. It is fixable in C/C++ code, but the programmer needs to count the number of
digits to be output and manually add their own leading zeros. Not many can be
bothered.
