PQ12773 FOR TCP/IP COMMUNICATIONS PTF PROBLEM
---------------------------------------------
  This fixes TCP/IP communications between CS/2 nodes, a problem introduced
  inadvertently on PTFs UQ05603 (CS/2 English) and UQ11442 (ECS/2 English).

  Prerequisite
  ------------
  Install this fix on top of either PTF UQ05603 or UQ11442.  It is not
  needed for the Big 5 translated CS/2 version or any other DAE platform
  versions.

  Problem Description
  -------------------
  TCP/IP communication fails between two OS/2 nodes when the data
  transparency field is set to NO and the Communication Control Block
  (CCB)'s codepage and country code are set to 0.

  APAR Installation
  -----------------
  1. Shut down CS/2.
  2. Backup the file being replaced:
       Under \cs2\backup\ create directory PQ12773\sys\
       Copy \cs2\sys\cs2tcr00.exe to \cs2\backup\PQ12773\sys\.
  3. Download the PQ12773's cs2tcr00.exe into \cs2\sys.
  4. Restart CS/2.

  Work-around
  -----------
  A work-around is to set the data transparency field in the Configuration
  NIB segment to YES for each node in the DAE network.  This will not
  affect performance, as data transparency is executed for communications
  between unlike platforms only.
