This article was previously published under Q172294 SYMPTOMS
If the installation path of the SNA Client is longer than 64 bytes, the
Windows 95 3270 applet (Win3270.exe) returns the error message
FMIS3270.DLL not found
and fails to connect.
CAUSE
When the 3270 applet builds the full path to the FMI driver, a maximum path
of 64 bytes is allowed.
RESOLUTION
The 3270 applet FMI call now uses MAX_PATH and is not limited to a 64-byte
path name.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server 3.0 and 3.0
Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
