PROBLEMS FIXED: APAR Number Description JR13532 User held down the interrupt key, causing a backlog of items queued on the list to be sent. Some writes became pending, and the IpOutbound reused the storage withoutconsidering that the storage was queued. JR13531 The TN3270E server was modified to detect this implied keyboard restore and set the "kbd restore" bit in the "write control character" (WCC) in the data stream. (As opposed to sending dow a separate keyboard restore- which had been a previous approach to this case which had caused problems with another client.) JR13530 When the MSG10 screen had a line which ended on character 79 and then was followed by a new line (for base clients only), the screen would be erased after the MSG10 screen was displayed. This appeared to the client like the MSG10 screen had not been displayed and was therefore unusable. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: JR13532.exe is a self-extracting file containing the shipped executables. The PARTS LIST is as follows: SHIPPED (fn ft) REPLACES TN3270WN.EXE c:\ibmcs\TN3270WN.EXE TN3270D.DLL c:\ibmcs\TN3270D.DLL JR13532.TXT (this readme file) where "c:\ibmcs" is the directory where Communications Server is installed. Installing the fix on the system: 1) Be SURE you have downloaded the JR13532.exe file in BINARY format. 2) Create a Temp directory and copy JR13532.exe into the temporary directory and run the file to uncompress it. 3) Stop Communications Server for Windows NT (including your node, Node Operations, Node Configuration, Log Viewer, and any other CS/NT components you have started). Note that there may still be CS/NT-related services running on the machine after stopping these applications, but this is normal and will not affect the installation of this fix package. IMPORTANT! If this is an APAR fix, carefully compare the dates of the parts supplied with this APAR fix with the dates of the parts you are replacing. If ANY of the parts being replaced are more recent than the parts shipped with this APAR discontinue the installation of this fix and contact Customer Support for clarification. 4) Backup your existing versions of the parts listed in the above parts list. 5) Copy the new versions of the files from the temporary directory to the directory where CS/NT is installed. 6) Shutdown and Restart the CS/NT server machine. 7) Restart your CS/NT node.
