1.0 INFORMATION FOR APAR SE56681

-------------------------------------------------------------------


1.1  Problem Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------

    IBM i Access for Windows service pack SI50567 fixes a cursor
    positioning problem (APAR SE56681) so that cursor positioning
    will now correctly adhere to documented standards.  While
    technically correct according to the documented standards, some
    users may have become accustom to the old behavior and may not
    want the updated behavior.

    The correct behavior is as follows:
    1. When the user types to the end of an input field, the cursor will
    move to the beginning of the field.
    2. When the screen is refreshed by a status or break message, the
    cursor returns to the default position.
       
  
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1.1  Problem Resolution
-------------------------------------------------------------------

   If the user finds the above behavior undesirable and wants the
   cursor to behave as it did prior to service pack SI50567, the
   following steps can be taken:

   1. Apply the patch as outlined below.
   2. Edit the PC5250 workstation (.ws) file for the 5250 session
      that needs the old behavior.      
   3. If the keyword DefaultCursorPosition is not already in the .ws
      file, add it to the LT52 section.

[LT52]
DefaultCursorPosition=N

   4. If the behavior prior to service pack SI50567 is desired, set
      DefaultCursorPosition to 'N'

    2) Locate the "Emulator" folder inside the IBM i Access install path.
       By default, this is "C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\Emulator"
    3) In that directory, rename the file pcslt52.dll to pcslt52.dll.bak
    4) Save the patch version of pcslt52.dll into this directory.
