Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users having DBCS IBM Personal Communications (Japanese) * * installed with printer session configured to a 3270 Host. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * IBM Personal Communications Japanese 3270 host printer * * session hangs on large host print jobs. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In a Windows (Japanese) environment, IBM Personal Communications is configured with a printer session to a 3270 host. When a print job is submitted that results in very large print data sent to the printer session in multiple 3270 data packets, the printer session may hang.
Problem conclusion
The code was found to be erring while processing the multiple data packets, ending up incorrectly handling the print data when it spanned into a chain of multiple packets under certain circumstances. PCSTLNET.DLL code has been changed to correctly set the flags to mark the beginning and end of the print data coming in multiple packets. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.17 Refresh Pack and 12.0.0.1 Fix Pack
