Error description
Problem introduced is when we use interactive SAS, HOD enters a sort of "graphics mode" where the cursor becomes crosshairs. That behavior is good, but the desired behavior when exiting interactive SAS is that the cursor goes back to normal and HOD is no longer in graphics mode. In HOD 12.0.2, HOD never exits this "graphics mode" and the session becomes unusable outside of interactive SAS, as any attempt to enter commands or navigate through mainframe ISPF results in this error ** ISPF screen input error - code = 23 **
Local fix
