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.
