1.0 OS/400 PROGRAM TEMPORARY FIXES (PTFs) REQUIRED
---------------------------------------------------
For a list of OS/400 PTFs that must be installed on the AS/400
prior to attempting any Client Access functions, please reference
Informational APAR II10303.
2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
------------------------------
2.1 INSTALLING FROM A MANAGING AS/400 SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------
Note:
The following method would be used if you have received the Client
Access service pack through the AS/400 PTF ordering process either
as an individual PTF order or as part of an OS/400 PTF cumulative
package.
Once this service pack has been applied to the managing AS/400
system with the LODPTF and APYPTF AS/400 commands, it can be
installed on individual PC's with the "Install Service Pack"
program icon in the Client Access Accessories folder.
The "Client Access Login Service Check" program icon created in
the Windows 95/NT Startup folder will also detect that the
managing AS/400 system has been updated, and will present the user
with the option to install the service pack at startup time as
well.
2.2 INSTALLING FROM A LOCAL OR NETWORK DRIVE
---------------------------------------------
Note:
The following method would be used if you have received the Client
Access service pack as a set of install image files.
Install the service pack by the running the "SETUP.EXE" program
from your PC. This program is part of the install image files
shipped with a service pack.
Before running this program, copy the service pack install image
files to a local drive on your PC or to any accessible network
drive. Once the install setup program has completed, you can then
remove the install image files from that drive.
2.3 INSTALLING FROM DISKETTE
-----------------------------
Note:
The following method would be used if you have received the Client
Access service pack as a set of install diskettes.
Install the service pack by inserting diskette 1 into your
diskette drive and running the "SETUP.EXE" program. Follow the
setup program instructions, inserting additional diskettes as
required.
2.4 INSTALL/UNINSTALL CONSIDERATIONS
-------------------------------------
The following sections describe additional support and known
problems that you may notice while using the Install/Uninstall
function.
2.4.1 REMOVING THE SERVICE PACK
--------------------------------
To remove this service pack from your PC:
1. Click the Windows 95 Start button, click on Settings, and then
click on Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
3. Click on the Install/Uninstall tab, click on IBM Client Access
for Windows 95 Service Pack SFxxxxx item, and then click on the
Add/Remove button.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
2.5 NETSOFT ROUTER CONSIDERATIONS
----------------------------------
The following sections describe additional support and known
problems that you may notice while using the NetSoft router to
install service packs with some connectivities.
2.5.1 INSTALLING SERVICE PACKS ON SDLC-ATTACHED PC's
-----------------------------------------------------
If you have an SDLC-attached PC, and the only connectivity that
you have to the AS/400 for that PC is SDLC, then you will be
unable to install the service pack to your PC using conventional
means (by clicking on the "Install Service Pack" program icon in
Client Access Accessories folder).
The suggested way of installing the service pack in this case is to
take one of the options below.
1) A parameter has been added to Check Version, cwbckver.exe,
that will copy the service pack image to the PC's temporary
directory, install the service pack, then remove the copied
files. To use this new support you will need to get the
latest Check Version, cwbckver.exe, on the PC and change the
parameters of the 'Client Access Login Service Check' icon in
the 'StartUp' folder.
SET UP STEPS
1. Make sure you have the new Check Version installed
on the PC before using the new parameter. If it is not
installed the parameter will be ignored.
2. Right mouse click on the 'Start' button in the task bar.
3. Select the 'Explore' menu choice.
4. Double-click on the 'Programs' folder.
5. Double-click on the 'StartUp' folder.
6. Right mouse click on the 'Client Access Login Service
Check' icon.
7. Select the 'Properties' menu choice.
8. Click on the 'Shortcut' tab.
9. In the 'Target:' entry field will be something similar to:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\cwbckver.exe" LOGIN
After the 'LOGIN' parameter add ' 0 LOCAL'. The parameters are
case-sensitive, so be sure to type them in upper case. The
'Target:' entry field should now look like:
...\cwbckver.exe" LOGIN 0 LOCAL
PARAMETERS Explained
LOGIN parameter tells Check Version to do the login service
check.
0 is the number of seconds to wait after check version
starts before checking the service level on the managing
system.
LOCAL parameter tells Check Version to copy the service pack
install image files from the managing system to a
temporary directory on the PC. The files will be copied
to the 'CA400' directory in the Windows 95 Temp
directory (For example, C:\Windows\Temp\CA400 ). If the
CA400 directory does not exist check version creates it.
If check version creates the directory it will also
delete it when it is finished.
POSSIBLE ERRORS:
- A message is issued if there is not enough disk space to
copy all the files. If you get this message you will need
to free disk space on the hard drive specified in the message.
- A message is issued if one of the files could not be
successfully copied.
If you select OK, check version will attempt to copy the
remaining files and install the service pack.
If you select Cancel, check version will stop copying files
and delete any of the files it has already copied.
STATUS:
No status information is displayed while the files are
copied. To determine if check version is progressing look
in the 'CA400' temporary directory (For example
C:\Windows\Temp\CA400). You should see new files appear
periodically.
NOTES:
1. The LOCAL parameter also works for upgrades to a new
release. To use check version to automatically upgrade you
will need to use the LOCAL parameter to avoid the time out.
2) Find another Windows 95 PC connected to the AS/400 that uses a
different connectivity (such as token ring), and create a set
of service pack install diskettes. To do this choose
"Accessories" from the Client Access folder, then choose
"Create Install Diskettes", and then choose "Service
Pack (SP)". When this is completed, use these diskettes to
install the service pack onto your SDLC-attached PC (by running
SETUP.EXE from diskette 1).
3) Find another non-Windows 95 PC connected to the AS/400 and copy
the files from QCA400\WIN32\SERVICE\CDROM directory to a set of
diskettes, and then create a temporary directory on your
SDLC-attached PC's hard drive, and copy the files from the
diskettes to that directory. Run SETUP.EXE from that directory.
2.5.2 INSTALLING SERVICE PACKS ON ASYNC-ATTACHED PC's
------------------------------------------------------
If you have an Async-attached PC, and the only connectivity that
you have to the AS/400 for that PC is Async, then you will be
unable to install the service pack to your PC using conventional
means (by clicking on the "Install Service Pack" program icon in
Client Access Accessories folder).
The suggested way of installing the service pack in this case is
to take one of the options below.
1) A parameter has been added to Check Version, cwbckver.exe,
that will copy the service pack image to the PC's temporary
directory, install the service pack, then remove the copied
files. To use this new support you will need to get the
latest Check Version, cwbckver.exe, on the PC and change the
parameters of the 'Client Access Login Service Check' icon in
the 'StartUp' folder.
SET UP STEPS
1. Make sure you have the new Check Version installed
on the PC before using the new parameter. If it is not
installed the parameter will be ignored.
2. Right mouse click on the 'Start' button in the task bar.
3. Select the 'Explore' menu choice.
4. Double-click on the 'Programs' folder.
5. Double-click on the 'StartUp' folder.
6. Right mouse click on the 'Client Access Login Service
Check' icon.
7. Select the 'Properties' menu choice.
8. Click on the 'Shortcut' tab.
9. In the 'Target:' entry field will be something similar to:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\cwbckver.exe" LOGIN
After the 'LOGIN' parameter add ' 0 LOCAL'. The 'Target:'
entry field should now look like:
...\cwbckver.exe" LOGIN 0 LOCAL
PARAMETERS Explained
LOGIN parameter tells Check Version to do the login service
check.
0 is the number of seconds to wait after check version
starts before checking the service level on the managing
system.
LOCAL parameter tells Check Version to copy the service pack
install image files from the managing system to a
temporary directory on the PC. The files will be copied
to the 'CA400' directory in the Windows 95 Temp
directory (For example, C:\Windows\Temp\CA400 ). If the
CA400 directory does not exist check version creates it.
If check version creates the directory it will also
delete it when it is finished.
POSSIBLE ERRORS:
- A message is issued if there is not enough disk space to
copy all the files. If you get this message you will need
to free disk space on the hard drive specified in the message.
- A message is issued if one of the files could not be
successfully copied.
If you select OK, check version will attempt to copy the
remaining files and install the service pack.
If you select Cancel, check version will stop copying files
and delete any of the files it has already copied.
STATUS:
No status information is displayed while the files are
copied. To determine if check version is progressing look
in the 'CA400' temporary directory (For example
C:\Windows\Temp\CA400). You should see new files appear
periodically.
NOTES:
1. The LOCAL parameter also works for upgrades to a new
release. To use check version to automatically upgrade you
will need to use the LOCAL parameter to avoid the time out.
2) Find another Windows 95 PC connected to the AS/400 that uses a
different connectivity (such as token ring), and create a set
of service pack install diskettes.
To do this choose "Accessories" from the Client Access folder,
then choose "Create Install Diskettes", and then choose
"Service Pack (SP)". When this is completed, use these
diskettes to install the service pack onto your Async-attached
PC (by running SETUP.EXE from diskette 1).
3) If you don't have access to another PC with an AS/400
connection, then the service pack can still be installed.
To do this, follow these steps:
a) Make a connection to the AS/400 (from your
Async-attached PC).
b) Assign a Network drive to the AS/400, using Explorer.
c) Create a temporary directory on your local hard drive,
and copy all of the files in the QCA400\WIN32\SERVICE\CDROM
directory to that directory.
d) Run SETUP.EXE from that temporary drive.
2.5.3 INSTALLING THE WINDOWS 95 32-BIT TWINAX SUPPORT
------------------------------------------------------
After you have installed Client Access Service Pack SF39220, a new
subdirectory with the update software will be created on your computer.
This TWINAX directory will be created under the directory in which Client
Access was installed. The path is normally
"C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\twinax", where C: is the drive where
Client Access is installed. Print off the README.TXT in the TWINAX
directory. Follow the README.TXT instructions to go through the
installation process (INSTALL.EXE).
Refer to informational APAR II10307 for additional information.
2.5.4 INSTALLING SERVICE PACKS ON TWINAX-ATTACHED PCs
------------------------------------------------------
If you have a twinax-attached PC and you are not currently able to connect,
then you will be unable to obtain the service pack using conventional means
(by clicking on the "Install Service Pack" program icon in Client Access
Accessories folder). The suggested way of obtaining the service pack in
this case is to take one of the options below.
1) Find another Windows 95 PC connected to the AS/400 that uses a different
connectivity (such as token ring), and create a set of service pack
install diskettes. To do this choose "Accessories" from the Client
Access folder, then choose "Create Install Diskettes", and then choose
"Service Pack (SP)". When this is completed, use these diskettes to
install the service pack onto your twinax-attached PC (by running
SETUP.EXE from diskette 1).
2) Find another non-Windows 95 PC connected to the AS/400 and copy the
files from QCA400\WIN32\SERVICE\CDROM directory to a set of diskettes,
and then create a temporary directory on your twinax-attached PC's hard
drive, and copy the files from the diskettes to that directory. Run
SETUP.EXE from that directory.
3) Additional means of obtaining service packs are described in
informational APAR II09523.
2.6 DATA TRANSFER CONSIDERATIONS
---------------------------------
The following sections describe additional support or known
problems that you may notice while using the Data Transfer
function.
2.6.1 TRANSFERRING DATA WHEN THE FILE CCSID IS 65535
-----------------------------------------------------
The Data Transfer function will not translate data between ASCII and
EBCDIC, if the CCSID of the file on the AS/400 is 65535. Uploads to the
AS/400 file will generate message "CWBTF0005 - Data in this field is
incorrect or does not match PC data type." Downloads to the PC will
complete successfully, but the data will not be converted, appearing as
hexadecimal data instead of the correct character data.
Data Transfer will now allow conversion from CCSID 65535 to the PC CCSID
on transfers to the PC. The AS/400 job CCSID will be used for the
conversion. Data Transfer will also convert from the PC CCSID to the
AS/400 job CCSID for transfers to the AS/400 when fields are tagged with
the 65535 CCSID.
This conversion is controlled by creating an INI file named CWBTFR.INI in
your Windows install directory (which is usually C:\WINDOWS for Windows 95
and C:\WINNT for Windows NT 4.0). For your convenience, we have shipped a
sample CWBTFR.INI file in the Client Access install directory (which by
default is C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access). We also included a
CWBTFR.TXT file, which explains the different fields. To use CWBTFR.INI,
copy it to your Windows install directory and change it to reflect the
options you wish to use.
The CWBTFR.INI file must contain ONE of following lines:
ForceTranslation=0; for no translation of 65535 data
OR
ForceTranslation=1; for translation of 65535 data
If the CWBTFR.INI file is not found, or the correct section and value
names are not present in the CWBTFR.INI file, Data Transfer will default
to not translate 65535 data.
WARNING: Enable this fix only if you are confident the data contained
within columns tagged with the 65535 CCSID are in a defined CCSID
that matches the user profile CCSID of the jobs that will access
it. Accessing 65535 CCSID data from a job CCSID that does not
match the data may corrupt data within the database file. If you
don't enable this fix by providing a CWBTFR.INI file, transfers
will continue to behave as they did before.
Columns tagged with the 65535 CCSID are designed to not be
converted when transferring to/from the PC. Using this fix,
which forces a conversion to take place, is to be done only when
it is not possible to change the column or file CCSID from 65535.
Every attempt should be made to appropriately tag the data with
the correct CCSID.
For more information on the 65535 CCSID, see topic 2.2.3.2 in the
AS/400 National Language Support book, SC41-1301-00.
Conversions from CCSID 65535 fields are prone to errors under
multi-language situations where AS/400 user job CCSIDs do not match.
2.7 PC5250 CONSIDERATIONS
--------------------------
The following sections describe additional support or known
problems that you may notice while using the PC5250 function.
2.7.1 HOW TO SWITCH THE CTRL AND ENTER KEYS
--------------------------------------------
Before Service Pack SF42728, the default action for the Enter key was
"Field Exit", and the default action for the Ctrl key was "Enter". These
actions were swapped in SF42728. If you are using a keyboard mapping file
(.kmp file) you are not affected. If you would like to switch the keys back,
perform the following steps to create a keyboard mapping file with the
original keyboard layout.
1) Start a PC5250 session
2) From the "Assist" pulldown, select "Keyboard Setup...".
3) Click the "User-Defined" radio button for "Current Keyboard" and then
click the "Customize" button (if you have an existing keyboard layout
select it with the "Browse" button).
Steps 4-10 change the Ctrl key to be Enter in your PC5250 session.
4) Click on the "Ctrl" key on the keyboard layout.
5) In the "Function" dropdown list, select "Enter/Control".
6) With the function highlighted, click on the "->" next to the
"Base" state.
7) Press the "Change Key" button at the bottom.
8) In the "Function" dropdown list, select "Enter/Control".
9) With the function highlighted, click on the "->" next to
the "Shift" state.
10) Press the "Change Key" button at the bottom.
Steps 11-20 change the Enter key to be Field Exit, New Line,
and Carrier Return in your PC5250 session.
11) Click on the " <-' " key on the keyboard layout (this
is the Enter key).
12) In the "Function" dropdown list, select "Field Exit".
13) With the function highlighted, click on the "->" next to
the "Base" state.
14) Press the "Change Key" button at the bottom.
15) In the "Function" dropdown list, select "New Line".
16) With the function highlighted, click on the "->" next to
the "Shift" state.
17) Press the "Change Key" button at the bottom.
18) In the "Function" dropdown list, select "Carrier Return".
19) With the function highlighted, click on the "->" next to
the "Ctrl" state.
20) Press the "Change Key" button at the bottom.
21) Exit and save the keyboard mapping.
22) From the "Keyboard Setup" dialog box, click on the "OK" button.
The keys should now be re-mapped to the way they were originally shipped
in V3R1M2.
2.7.2 HOW TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT FILE TRANSFER TYPE
---------------------------------------------------
With service pack SF43837, the default action for the "Transfer" pull
down menu items and the "Send" and "Receive" buttons in PC5250 has been
changed to invoke CA/400 data transfer rather than PC5250 file transfer.
If CA/400 data transfer is not installed on the PC, the default is
set to PC5250 file transfer.
When these menu options are selected, a control file is created that
specifies the host system that the current session is connected to on the
"SYSTEM" line of the control file. The control file name contains the
session letter and has a type of ".TFR" for transfers from the PC and
".TTO" for transfers to the PC, and it is created in the private
directory (Emulator/private). For example, the file name is PC5250$A.TTO
for a download from session A. If this file already exists and contains a
line that starts with the string "SYSTEM ", then this line is simply
updated with the current host system. Otherwise the file is created (or
recreated) from scratch. The CA/400 data transfer function is then invoked
(CWBTF.EXE from the directory above where the PC5250 executables live)
with this control file as the only argument.
In order to change the appearance and functioning of the "Transfer" menu
option to its original state (i.e. invoking PC5250 file transfer), a user
must edit the workstation profile (.WS file) and add the line:
ForceDataTransfer=N
to the [Transfer] section of this file. If no [Transfer] section exists,
then add the lines:
[Transfer]
ForceDataTransfer=N
to the bottom of this file.
When CA/400 data transfer is not installed on the PC, no changes
are noticed.
2.8 IBM PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS CONSIDERATIONS
-----------------------------------------------
The following sections describe additional support or known
problems that you may notice while using an IBM Personal
Communications connection.
2.8.1 ROUTER STATE
-------------------
If you use the IBM Personal Communications connection type, the
connection must first be made through IBM Personal Communications.
Client Access will start this connection for you when IBM Personal
Communications has not been started, only if the following are
true:
- The directory that IBM Personal Communications is installed to
is in the PATH environment variable.
- The connection to the desired AS/400 is defined correctly in the
IBM Personal Communications default configuration file.
If either of the above is not true, the IBM Personal
Communications connection must be started manually before using
Client Access functions.
2.9 ANYNET CONSIDERATIONS
-------------------------
The following sections describe additional support or known
problems that you may notice while using an AnyNet connection.
2.9.1 ANYNET OVER ETHERNET
---------------------------
When using AnyNet over an Ethernet connection, check the SSAP AA
value for the Ethernet line description on the AS/400. This value
should be set to 1480. If it is set to 1496 (the default), you
will have problems getting a communications connection to the
AS/400 using Client Access.
3.0 WINDOWS NT CONSIDERATIONS
------------------------------
3.1 Enabling Twinax Drivers
---------------------------
The twinax drivers are installed when Client Access is installed
on your Windows NT system. Before you can use the drivers you
must enable them, to enable them a user with administrator
authority needs to do the following:
Go to My Computer -> Control Panel -> Devices. Scroll down the
list of devices until you find IBMTwx, IBMTwxNM, IBMTwxSN.
For each device select the device and press the start button.
Do your Netsoft and Client Access configurations and try to make
a connection.
If the connection is successful return to the Devices window and
again find the IBMTwx, IBMTwxNM, IBMTwxSN devices, this time
for each device select the device, press the startup button and
choose automatic as the startup type.
If the connection does not work it is probably because of a IRQ,
IO address, or shared memory conflict. Use the following
information to resolve conflicts.
The default settings for the ISA twinax driver are as follows:
IRQ - 0x00000005
IO Address - 0x0000271A
Shared Memory - 0x000DC000
If these values are not correct for your card or if they conflict
with another card you may need to change the settings. To do
this use the regedit program and edit the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IBMTwx\parameters
The default settings for the PCMCIA card driver are as follows:
InterruptNumber - 0x0000000A
IOBaseAddress - 0x00000300
MemoryMappedBaseAddress - 0x000CC000
If these values are not correct for your card or if they conflict
with another card you may need to change the settings. To do
this use the regedit program and edit the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IBMTwxSN1\Parameters
3.2 Enabling SDLC Drivers
---------------------------
The SDLC drivers are installed when SNA communications are
installed on your Windows NT system. Before you can use the
drivers you must enable them, to enable them a user with
administrator authority needs to do the following:
Go to My Computer -> Control Panel -> Devices. Scroll down
the list of devices until you find VNSSDLCI. Select the
VNSSDLCI device and press the startup button, change the startup
type from manual to automatic and restart your Windows NT system.
4.0 Graphical Access Considerations
-----------------------------------
4.1 GA400.INI
----------------
If you have made any changes in the Graphical Access configuration
file GA400.INI, applying this service pack will overlay those
changes. You will need to make the changes again after applying
the service pack.
5.0 AUTHORIZED PROGRAM ANALYSIS REPORT (APAR) ABSTRACTS
--------------------------------------------------------
The following lists the APARs fixed at each of the service pack
levels. Each service pack PTF is cumulative, that is, the most
recent service pack PTF released contains all the fixes from prior

APAR = SA74939 CA400WINOPT-NETDRIVE-INCORROUT CANNOT CONNECT TO KANJI DIR
The customer creates a directory on the AS/400 whose name
contains some Japanese Kanji (DBCS) characters. Then the
user attempts to connect to the directory using Explorer.
The connect fails with "Computer or share name not found"
message. This error only occurs on Windows 95; it does not
occur with Windows NT.
AFP WorkBench Viewer
-------------------
None.
5250 Display and Printer Emulator
---------------------------------
APAR = SA73928 CA400WINOPT-TERMEMUL-INCORROUT-PC5250
Using a PC5250 session to display the contents of a file
member, everything works fine as long as there are no
packed fields included in the file. If a packed field is
included, light retangles are displayed, which is fine.
But if the user presses PF1 for Help, and then leaves the Help
window with PF3, PF12, or with the Enter key, the light
rectangles are replaced with blank fields. It the user pages
down or pages up, the light rectangles are once again displayed.
APAR = SA74441 CA400WINOPT-TERMEMUL-ETH-UNPRED-
When using the TAB key in OV/400, the cursor will either stop
performing the TAB function and/or start moving character by
character along the screen. This usually occurs when
position 80 is reached, and then OV/400 pans to the right.
APAR = SA74505 CA400WINOPT-PRINTEMUL-ETH-INCORROUT-PRT PC5250 HP4 PRINTER
After installing SF47544, the correct output is not produced
for a PC5250 HP4 printer session using HPJL4.PDT. The spool
file has a page size of 66x132 6lpi 10cpi font(*cpi), with

There are problems in creating Client Access for AS/400
diskettes from an AS/400 with an installed version of Client
Access that is one or two modification levels greater than that
installed on the PC from which the diskettes are being created.
The problem is usually indicated by receiving error message
CWBAD4020 because a file cannot be found or CWBAD4099 with
return code 3 3 because the modification level is not being
handled properly.
- Creating V3R1M3 Client Access for Windows 95/NT diskettes from

In this case the diskettes are created correctly except for
the Minimum set of diskettes. If trying to install from the
set of diskettes created using the Minimum option, the Install
program (setup.exe) will think all components are on the
diskettes. If when installing from these diskettes you select
a component or subcomponent to be installed that doesn't exist
on the set of diskettes then the error "FileSetPerform -2: An

If the option is taken to reboot the PC (via the servicepack

shutdown on the "Please wait, Shutdown in Progress" clouds
bitmap.
After the customer selects to reboot the PC at the
end of the servicepack install, on slower PC's the
shutdown does not commence immediately, and the
installation wizard will attempt to free a DLL
used during install. This DLL is located on the
first diskette, and causes a problem where the
Windows 95 operating system attempts to access the
file. This can interfere with the shutdown process
causing it to hang.
The date the diskettes were created is significant
in that it somehow is tied to the diskette volume
label. This only is a problem with Windows 95 -
Windows NT does not have this problem.
The servicepack install wizard is changed to
copy this DLL from the first diskette to a
temporary local directory, and load and unload
the DLL from there. This solves the problem
with unloading the DLL and having the operating
system attempt to locate the DLL on the first
diskette.

that no more converstations are allowed from that PC.
A new API was added to the CWBOBJ.DLL that will drop all
conversations for the current process to the network print
server. Application writers using the cwbOBJ_... APIs can call
this API before their program ends to ensure all conversations
are dropped cleanly. The new DLL will
be shipped and any applications writers who want to use the
new API can request an updated CWBOBJ.H and CWBOBJ.LIB to build
their programs with, or just use this prototype:
unsigned int CWB_ENTRY cwbOBJ_DropConnections(
cwbSV_ErrHandle errorHandle);
And add an IMPORT statement to their programs definition module.

After installing Client Access for Windows 95/NT on
a laptop computer, the battery life of the laptop is
not as long as it was prior to installing Client
Access for Windows 95/NT.
The problem occurs when using the laptop but not
connected to the network or using any part of Client
Access.
If the CWBUITSK process is terminated, the battery
life seems to be longer than when CWBUITSK is running.
CWBUITSK has been changed to improve battery life for laptop
computers. This change may not solve all battery life issues
that could exist on laptop computers but it may help.
CWBUITSK will still be displayed as an active process that
is running but it is idle and only processes information
when a Client Access connection is connected or disconnected.

The customer runs a normal PC5250 session and wanted to display
the contents of a file member. This works fine, so far as no
packed fields are included in this file. But if for example a
packed decimal field is included she will only see blanks
instead of light rectangles for this field, as you will see
on terminals. So she is not able to say if there are dates
or not.
With other emulators (Rumba for CA for Win3.1) and on dumb
Terminals you will see the light rectangles or with Graphical
Access you will receive other special characters.
APAR = SA67394
This customer created a CBL-Pgm which uses the API QsnGetCsrAdr.

When using STREML3270 with NULLS(*REMOVE) from a PC5250
session , BLANKS (x'40) instead of NULLS (X'00) are sent from
the PC to the AS/400. This causes problems with the customer's
TSO application because things like the USERID field are sent
to the TSO host with BLANKS in the field.
APAR = SA67636
The customer has an OfficeVision/400 (OV/400) document that
uses bolding to highlight several lines of text. If they
print this document through a PC5250 printer session that is
configured to use either the Windows printer driver or a
PDT file it does the bolding, but stops before reaching the
OV/400 End Bold control.
If they configure the PC5250 to use Host Print Transform
(HPT) then it prints correctly.
Looking at a dump of the AS/400 spooled file shows that the
Begin Emphasis (BES) and End Emphasis (EES) controls are in
the correct place, but PC5250 stops bolding before the EES
control is reached.
Further investigation by PC5250 Development in Raleigh shows
that this is occuring whenever right (100%) justification is
being used at the same time that the bolding is turned on.

Data Transfer
-------------
APAR = SA68272
File transfer to PC fails when transferring AS400 files
containing null values (Hex 00) in character fields.
All records containing null values are being incorrectly
truncated when transferred to the PC file.
The same type of transfer using previous version of file
transfer do not truncate the valid data after the null
value.
Text data which contain hex 0 generate data conversion errors
because the conversion is not defined. Data converted in spite
of the conversion error may also be suspect. The correct fix
is to update the data so that hex 0 is removed from the data.
Hex 0 data in a character field is not valid.
If the data is not changed, the fix for this APAR addresses
the reported problem.
APAR = SA68404
Client Access for Windows 95/NT data transfer function will
report an error/warning message msgCWBTF0020 stating that
extra data was found at the end of a record and that the
record was truncated. The next message states, "Send
completed successfully." In fact, no data were sent at all
and the existing file member was never cleared.
.
To recreate this error take the following steps.
o Create a physical data file on the AS/400 with one field
of type character and put some data into the file using
DFU.
o Transfer this file to the PC as an ASCII file using data
transfer.
o Edit the resulting data file on the PC and make one of the
records longer than the record length specified in the
FDF file (same as the record length on the AS/400).
o Create and save a transfer request to upload the data to
the AS/400, replacing the existing member.
o Run this transfer using RFROMPCB.EXE.
.
Note that if the same transfer were run interactively (using
CWBTF.EXE), it would stop at the long record and warn the
user and prompt them to continue. If they continue the long
record is truncated and the remainder of the data is
transferred successfully.
APAR = SA67150

is never sent to the AS/400
- Printer icons disappearing when attempting to reconnect.
All of the above can be recovered from by rebooting the PC.

The Client Access for Windows 95 client (CA400WINOPT) does
not correctly send information to the central server's client
management exit point if several, normal, Client Access
functions have been used between the connect and disconnect.
A user exit program monitoring the QIBM_QZSC_SM exit point
will capture data when the PC connects. The PC will send
a request to set the client active. After normal use, the PC
is disconnected via the AS/400 Connections icon and the PC
fails to send the request to set the client inactive.
Additionally, if the PC is not TCP/IP connected, it will not
send the information to the client management function unless
it is first connected via TCP/IP. In the R312 release of Client
Access for Windows 95/NT, the central client does not send any
client management information.

A Client Access user is forced to sign on multiple times
if the first AS400 connection is made through ODBC. The
ODBC application does not specify a userid or password
on the connect string and no default user is associated
with the system. This causes the standard Client Access
sign-on dialog to appear. The customer types in a user
profile and password and starts the ODBC application.
The user profile entered is not logged as the connection's
current user. Because there is no current user (and
no default user with a password in the cache), the
next Client Access function started will again prompt
for user profile and password.
Background:
Terms:
Current User - The AS400 user profile that is currently
signed-on (owns the CA400 license) for
the AS400 connection. By default,
all successive AS400 server connections
made will use this profile and password
unless overridden by the application.
Default User - The AS400 user profile that is associated
with an AS400 connection configuration.
If no user profile is specified on a
connection attempt, this profile
(and it's cached pwd if available) is used.
A change was made in R311 and R312 that alters how a user
profile sent in from an ODBC application is treated if
an AS400 connection does not already exist. With the code
change, a user profile/pwd passed from within an application
on an ODBC connect string does not become the "current
user". Also, the user profile and password are not stored in
the password cache (Windows 95 only). This prevents applications
started after the ODBC application from signing on with the first
ODBC application's user profile. Instead, they must sign-on as
the default user or enter a valid user profile in the AS400

Client Access not distinguishing between a user profile passed in on
an ODBC connect string and a user profile passed in from the AS400
sign on dialog box. A user profile entered in the AS400 sign on box
SHOULD become current user.

The customer application uses the cwbDQ_Write API with its
commit parameter set to FALSE and a data object which has its
SetConvert flag set to TRUE. The design of the cwbDQ_Write
API is such that memory allocated for each write with
commit = FALSE is not freed until another API is called
that requires the AS/400 server to send back a response.
At this time all the memory associated with the writes
should be freed. After calling an API requiring a response,
such as cwbDQ_Open, cwbDQ_Close, cwbDQ_Read, or cwbDQ_Write
with commit = TRUE, all memory is not being freed. This
memory leak will lead to poor performance and eventual
failure when the swapper file reaches maximum size.

When the Client Access Login Service Check (Check Version) connects
to an AS/400 via either NetSoft or TCP/IP, the conversations are
not deallocated when CheckVersion completes.
The Check Version task starts a communications link with the AS/400
by mapping a UNC drive. UNC drives can only be disconnected by the
operating system. The drive should eventually be disconnected, and
the conversations should then end. However, the operating system
does not seem to have a predictable algorithm for disconnecting a
UNC drive. We have seen times ranging from 15 minutes to well over
an hour.
Rather than mapping a UNC drive to the AS/400, Check Version will map
a drive by explicitly assigning it a drive letter. This type of
drive assignment can be disconnected by Check Version when it is done
with the drive. When the drive is disconnected, any conversations
started by Check Version will end.

Some Windows NT 4.0 workstation configurations cause the Client
Access for Windows 95/NT installation program to fail to create
the Client Access icons. The Client Access installation
appears to be successful, but no icons are created.
This PTF can be used to create Client Access icons on Windows NT PCs
which have Client Access installed, but do not have Client Access
icons in the Start Menu/Programs.
The following steps describe how to install this PTF fix to the PC.
This fix is installed by creating a connection to the AS/400 containing
the PTF and running Client Access Install Service Pack (Check Version).
This starts the Service Pack Setup program located on the managing
AS/400. The last step is to create the Client Access icons by running
the Client Access CWBICONS program.
1. Apply the Service Pack (PTF) with the fix onto your managing
AS/400 system.
2. Configure a connection to the managing AS/400 system. Because
you don't have icons to use, you need to run the AS/400
Connections program directly from the Windows NT Explorer.
a) Open the Windows NT Explorer.
b) Select the directory where Client Access is installed.
c) Find and run CWBCONN (CWBCONN.EXE). Double-clicking
will run the program.
3. The Add Connection Wizard will be displayed. Follow the
Add Connection Wizard steps to add a connection to the
managing AS/400. This process is described in the
Client Access Setup Guide.
4. Run the Client Access Install Service Pack (Check Version) program.
Because you don't have icons to use, you need to run the
program directly from an MSDOS Command Prompt window.
a) Open an MSDOS Command Prompt window.
b) Change the current directory to the path where Client
Access is installed.
c) Start the Check Version program by entering the command
cwbckver CSDINSTALL
d) The Check Version program will start the Service Pack
Install program from the managing AS/400 system.
e) Install the Service Pack by following the Setup wizard
instructions.
5. After the Service Pack is installed on the PC and the computer
has been restarted the Client Access icons can be created by
using the CWBICONS command.
a) Open the Windows NT Explorer.
b) Select the directory where Client Access is installed.
c) Find and run CWBICONS (CWBICONS.BAT). Double-clicking
will run the program.
The Setup program will start and create the icons for all
of the Client Access components that are installed on the PC.
When CWBICONS finishes you should see the Client Access icons
in the Start Menu/Programs.

default SQL library using the first library from the "Default
Libraries" in the data source. The library name is not being
translated and nulls are sent up in its place. This eventually
results in an error MSGSQL5010 being received by the driver
when the SQL statements cannot be processed. To circumvent this
aspect of the error, remove all libraries from the "Default

Customer is experiencing the same problem as reported in APAR
SA54223 but at R311 release of Client Access/400 For Windows 95.
If CA400WINOPT is installed on the PC and the Primary Logon for
Windows 95 is set to "MS Client For Netware Networks", the PC
will hang when the user attempts to logon while the PC is not
attached to the LAN.
If user Cancels the logon the PC does not hang, and if the Win95
Primary Logon is set to "Windows Logon" the user can login
without causing a hang condition.
No AS/400 network resources have been defined in Win95 (no drive

This error only effects QDLS and QSYS.LIB file systems.
The problem is with how network drives handle the working
directory handle (WDH) cache. If a folder or object in
folder is referenced, netdrives may create a WDH to that
folder. This WDH will "lock" the folder if the folder
exists in a "persistent content" file system such
as QDLS or QSYS.LIB. Network drives is only deleting the
WDH when the drive is disconnected. The WDH should be

An access violation was caused by the ODBC driver when
an application attempted to set a parameter marker to

specified on the SQLPutData, an access violation is raised
when the statement is executed (the last SQLParamData).
APAR = SA60455 (ODBC)
The ODBC driver has a memory leak when an application executes
a stored procedure that returns a result set. This happens
using either the SQLExecDirect API or the SQLPrepare and
SQLExecute APIs.
A block of memory will be lost each time the procedure is
executed. After many iterations of this sequence the program
can get a memory or resource allocation error.

Multithreaded applications running under Windows 95 may
hang or fail when run with a Client Access network drive
assigned. Only applications that use SuspendThread() and
ResumeThread() are affected. Applications that use other
Windows 95 synchronization objects (events, for example)
will work when a network drive is assigned.
Powersoft Optima++ is an example of an application that
fails.
The error occurs when one thread suspends itself and another
thread attempts to resume it with a ResumeThread() call.
If a Client Access network drive connection has been
established since the last boot of Windows 95, the
ResumeThread() api call will fail. GetLastError() returns
return code 0x78 (120). This is defined as:
ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED "This function is only valid in
Windows NT mode" (winerror.h)
"This function is only valid in Win32 mode" is returned
by FormatMessage().
The error does not occur if a network drive has not
been connected since the last boot of Windows 95.

Client Access/400 for Windows 95 data transfer function
preserves trailing blanks when downloading data to an ASCII
test file. This is inconsistent with the behavior of

trailing blanks. Equivalent functionality should be added to
Client Access/400 for Windows 95.

CAWINOPT Data Transfer from AS400. Data Options -> Details...
gets you to Receive Request Details. On Select page, you
double-click the fields you want to select and they are
dynamically added to the Select Clause below. Once that
clause is a certain length (approximately 260 characters),
any further selections in this manner truncate that string
in order to fit the new selection.
Manually typing in the field names does not pose this
problem (in neither the Select Clause nor the Select: on the
previous panel). However, with a typed-in 260+-length
clause, any further addition made to it via the method above
will truncate the clause down to the approx. 260 length.
This problem also occurs for the Order By clause on the same
Receive Request Details panel.
