"-B" Is Printed at End of TN3270 Print Job (162515)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 SP1
This article was previously published under Q162515 SYMPTOMS
A hyphen and the letter B (-B) are printed at the end of a TN3270 print
job.
CAUSE
The TN3270 Server is sending down a WCC byte to the emulator (with the
unlock keyboard byte enabled). This would be appropriate for a display
session in order to give the emulator direction to send more data back to
the host. However, because this is a printer session, the emulator instead
interprets this byte as data and prints it.
RESOLUTION
Apply the fix referenced below. A fix was made to the TN3270 Server to not
send this byte sequence over printer sessions at the end of the print job.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 2.11
and 2.11 Service Pack 1.
A supported fix is now available for SNA Server 2.11 SP1, but has not been
fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing
this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific
problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that
contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more
information.
