NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEC SNA 3270 Application Services V1.2 on OpenVMS
V6.1 or higher.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the R3270_E03012 kit:

  o  Session is in the unbinding state after received an unbind

  o  SNALOG file would type out as a single column file                 
                                                               
  o  PRINT/FLAG would cause queue to stall with NOCALLTRANS error       
                                                               
  o  An Invalid Stimulus bugcheck would be signalled                    
                                                               
  o  Exception Requests were not handled correctly                      
                                                               
  o  MEP VT Would Occasionally Exit With an Internal Error              
                                                                
  o  MEP VT Would Occasionally ACCVIO                                   



Problems Addressed in the R3270_E02012 Kit:

  o  MEP VT would occasionally hang.  This was caused by SNA 3270
     Application Services passing an uninitialized data structure element
     to MEP VT which caused the session id to become corrupted. 

  o  r3270_receive() in callback mode corrupted the stack.

     Calls to r3270_receive() in callback mode would corrupt the user
     stack causing unpredictable access violations. 

  o  DECforms: Error 12 displayed when running certain applications.

     When running certain DECforms applications, the user would see the
     following message: 

          Forms Error: -12
          Device I/O error.

     The error was caused by a change in a 3270 Services header file
     (R3270DEF.H) which was not included in the V1.1 shipment of the
     DECforms kits.  This change has now been built into the DECforms
     kits included with V1.2 of the 3270 Services software.  If you are
     using the DECforms software, install the latest kits (both 3270
     Services and DECforms) contained in this ECO.  If you have developed
     an application on V1.0 or V1.1 of the 3270 Services software, you
     may need to recompile your application after installing V1.1. 

  o  Concurrent calls to r3270_connect() returned "invalid enable id" 
     error.

     If a r3270_connect() call with a connect mode of RD_C_WAIT was made
     while another r3270_connect() call was outstanding, the
     r3270_connect() would fail with a sub-error of SNA_S_INVENAID. 

  o  Reported routine name corrupted in R3270_S_PARERR error message.

     The routine name in the "error in parameter, routine xxx" error
     message would be corrupted and reported as random characters.
