Error description
There is a 3270 mixed or SBCS field followed by a SBCS field. 1. On the field, customer types single-byte characters that length is one byte less than field length. <AAAA > 2. Turn on IME, then insert some SBCS data on IME just after the previous string and the total length exceeds the field length. <AAAAb>bbb 3. Before confirmation by Enter key, press Ctrl, Shift or Alt Then the string was confirmed then the data is broken strangely like .... <bbbb > <bbb > Note: The key is "customer types single-byte characters one byte less than field length". Otherwise Ctrl, Shift or Alt do not work.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: DBCS users who input data with an IME and * * enter non-data keys such as Shift, CTRL, * * or Alt. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When IME is on and user inputs some * * data, presses a non-data key such * * as shift,ctrl,or alt, and confirms the * * * * data. Then, the confirmed data is * * broken up. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** KBS.js has flag, isIMEstate, to keep track of the IME state. The original design is checks for a code of 229. But some of the non-data key codes are not 229, so isIMEstate flag state was set incorrectly.
Problem conclusion
Code was changed in KBS.jS so that now the isIMEstate is set to true if the code = 229, and it is no longer being set to false when the code is not equal to 229. Only mouse click and enter key can change flag to false.
