PQ12067
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of EPI *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the server goes down and there is *
* nothing running on an EPI terminal, *
* the terminal is not deleted. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
When the server goes down and there is nothing running on an EPI
terminal, the terminal is not deleted. This means that the
terminal cannot be reused to connect to a second server.
---------------- Problem conclusion
The CICS client has been changed so that EPI terminals are
always cleaned up when the server goes down. An EPIAddTerminal
can then be issued for the terminal to another server.
PQ13547
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: users of Visual Basic OLE EPI and C++ *
* EPI classes *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Text contents of C++ Cclfield and *
* Visual Basic Ccl.Field objects *
* corrupted. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
A CICS Server sends a 3270 data stream to the client where
some fields have the MDT flag set.If the fields with MDT set
are not immediately preceded by a set buffer address command
the text contents of the fields are corrupted when accessed
using the CICS Client Cclfield and Ccl.Field methods.
---------------- Problem conclusion
The client has been modified so that it will correctly
process data streams which contain Modify Field commands
which are not immediately preceded by a Set Buffer Address
command.
PQ02173
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of the IBM CICS Version 2.0 Client *
* for Windows and Dos printer terminals *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Formfeeds are appended to EXEC CICS *
* SEND PRINT commands by the printer *
* terminal . *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
An EXEC CICS SEND PRINT is issued on a server to a client
printer terminal . Under Dos and Windows 3.1 this always
results in a formfeed being issued . This is incorrect since
a formfeed should only occur if the FORMFEED option was
specified in the EXEC CICS SEND PRINT .
---------------- Problem conclusion
The IBM CICS Clients for DOS and Windows 3.1 have been modified
to stop the extra formfeeds and make them consistent with
the IBM CICS Clients for OS2, Windows NT and Windows 95.
If the user wishes to put formfeeds after SENDs
they can specify the FORMFEED option in the EXEC CICS SEND
PRINT. This APAR only effects output resulting from an
EXEC CICS SEND PRINT. If a user invokes print screen via
the keyboard then a formfeed will still be appended.
PQ12285
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of client terminals (including *
* EPI). *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Invalid Page fault at 00407763 during *
* terminal deletion. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The client invalidly references the representation of the
terminal control block after it has been deleted. This
can lead to invalid storage being referenced and a page fault
occurring.
---------------- Problem conclusion
The client has been changed so as to not reference freed
storage.
PQ12740
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: Users of multiple netbios servers. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The client cannot connect to 2 netbios *
* servers. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
The user cannot connect to 2 netbios servers. The client
trace shows that the netbios call to the 2nd server gets
a return code 7.
---------------- Problem conclusion
The client has been changed so that the rcbs used to call
netbios are on a 4 byte boundary. This prevents the Microsoft
netbios returning the bad return code.
PQ13454
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of the CICS client for Windows/NT *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Windows redrawn on reconnection. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
A minimized CICSPRNT window is redrawn upon client
reconnecting to server.
---------------- Problem conclusion
The CICS client has been modified to not redraw CICSPRNT
windows when the server it connects to restarts.
PQ13788
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of CICS client *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If more client terminals are active *
* than the value of MaxRequests in *
* CICSCLI.INI, then upon shutting *
* down and restarting the server, only *
* some terminals will be reconnected. *
* The rest will disappear. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
If more terminals are used than the setting of MaxRequests
in CICSCLI.INI, then upon losing and regaining a connection
to the server the client will only reconnect the same
number of terminals as the value of MaxRequests.
---------------- Problem conclusion
CICSPRNT has been modified to correct this behaviour.
