Error description
While in a PCOMM session version 6.0.7, a user selects the disconnect button on the menu bar then attempts to reconnect. The host name field has extra characters or symbols. The LU name field also has a combination of letters and numbers. Found APAR IC82521 fixed in 6.0.5 level but this is still occurring at 6.0.7 level. The LU name in this case is from a POOL list provided by the Telnet Server.
Local fix
Disable the Quick Connect Bar option.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users starting IBM Personal * * Communications 3270 session with Quick * * Connect Bar (QCB) enabled. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Upon successful connection, Quick * * Connect Bar (QCB) in a IBM Personal * * Communications 3270 session stores * * and displays the host generated LU * * name. Following this, subsequent * * connection to the host using QCB's * * "Connect" button fails. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Upon successful connection, Quick Connect Bar (QCB) in a IBM Personal Communications 3270 session stores and displays the host generated LU name from the LU pool. When the user disconnects the existing session by pressing QCB "Disconnect" button and connects again using the QCB "Connect" button, the connection to the host fails since the host generated LU name from the pool can not be used.
Problem conclusion
PCSTLNET.DLL has been changed to store and display the "configured" LUNAME on Quick Connect bar for 3270 session. The configured LUNAME could be a pool name or left blank to use the default pool defined in the Telnet Server. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.10 Refresh Pack
