Oatrick,

If GVECT is defined, you will see output for the GVECT components.
If you set GVECT= , then you won't get the vector components.
The first set of values is for GFUNC.

When you run from cron, your crontab will execute from your
home directory, unless you otherwsie specify a "cd" to directory.

I suspect that your difference is that your gemglb.nts where you are
working has defined a GVECT, where as the other location doesn't.

At any rate, just make sure your script from cron always sets
all variables for GDPROF and don't let defaults read from gemglb.nts
be used.
