Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * IBM Personal Communication on Windows Embedded Standard 2009 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Starting a emulator session with IBM Personal Communications * * v6.0.11 (20140926J) on Windows Embedded Standard 2009, * * hosted on Windows XP operating system results in a blank * * screen. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Starting a session by the .ws file using IBM Personal Communications v6.0.11 on Windows Embedded Standard 2009, hosted on Windows XP, creates a blank session window. The Windows event log shows: "application popup: pcsbat.exe could not find entry point procedure entry point GetThreadId is not found" GetThreadId() API is newly supported from Windows 2003 and is not supported by Windows XP. PCOM Refresh Pack 6.0.11 includes APAR SE60078 and it uses GetThreadId. Therefore, this IBM Personal Communications level did not work with Windows XP.
Problem conclusion
PCSTLNET.DLL was changed to not use GetThreadId(). Instead, a parameter for CreateThread() was changed to get the thread id. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.13 Refresh Pack
Temporary fix
