Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All DBCS (double byte character set) 5250 * * session users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Under a DBCS environment, PCOM 5250 * * display session containing large grid * * data may crash when SAVE command is * * received. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Under a DBCS environment, IBM Personal Communications 5250 display session containing large grid data may crash when SAVE command is received. The problem could happen irrespective of the screen size set. When the SAVE command is received from the host, the telnet module allocates a buffer to save the received data. If the size of the data is more than the allocated buffer size, internal memory gets corrupted due to buffer overrun. This subsequently causes PCSCM.EXE process to terminate abnormally.
Problem conclusion
PCSTLNET.DLL buffer size was increased to ensure that there is sufficient space to accommodate large data received from the host. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.12 Refresh Pack
