5722XE1 V5R3M0 IBM iSeries Access for Windows

In this directory is a fix for a V5R3M0  
iSeries Access for Windows ODBC problem that is not in 
V5R3 service packs:

APAR SE26220: CA400EXP-ODBC 2984 2986 INPUT LONG SYSTEM NAME
  The V5R3M0 ODBC Data Source Administrator function 
  has an iSeries Access for Windows ODBC Setup panel 
  for Data Source Names with a System input field.

  For the 2984 (English Mixed-Case DBCS) and 
  2986 (Korean DBCS) National Language Versions (NLVs), 
  the System input field will not accept a long enough 
  name, and limits the number of characters that can 
  be typed in.

  RESOLUTION:
  This is fixed in V5R4.

  For V5R3, an updated cwboddlg.dll is placed on 
  the following FTP site:
    ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/win32/v5r3m0/files/odbc/SE26220/2984   *or*
    ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/win32/v5r3m0/files/odbc/SE26220/2986 

  This only pertains to users of the following NLVs:
  -- 2984 English Mixed-Case DBCS
  -- 2986 Korean DBCS

This fix ONLY applies to V5R3M0 NLVs 2984 and 2986 at any service pack level.  Please do not 
attempt to apply this fix to any other release or NLV of iSeries Access for Windows.

If you need to contact Service about problems with this cwboddlg.dll, you should 
mention that you are using a version of cwboddlg.dll with a modification 
date of June 30th, 2006. 


File replacement instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Locate the file cwboddlg.dll on your client workstation.  This file should
   be located in the Mri29xx directory (where 'xx' = '84', '86')
   under the iSeries Access for Windows install
   directory (for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\Mri2986)
2) Rename cwboddlg.dll to cwboddlg.bak 
3) Copy the fix version of cwboddlg.dll into the same directory.
NOTE:  Make sure the DLL from the 2984 FTP directory goes into Mri2984 or the 
DLL from 2986 FTP directory goes into Mri2986.


For Advanced Users:
The odbcmri1.cab and odbcmri1.hdr files are in compressed format, and contain the
cwboddlg.dll fix.  If you want to update your install image, so that subsequent users
installing from this V5R3 image automatically get this fix after installing, you can copy odbcmri1.cab 
and odbcmri1.hdr from this FTP directory into your install image, replacing the 
existing files.   Make sure that you only do this for a 2984 or 2986 install image, and 
copy the appropriate files from the FTP directory that matches your 2984 or 2986 needs.
