SYMPTOMS

When using the SnaNls API to convert data to/from Simplified Chinese, incorrect character conversion may occur.

CAUSE

The following mapping combinations are duplicated in the Snadbcs.tbl file for Simplified Chinese, which causes conversion problems for the following characters:

   ANSI     EBCDIC
   A1E4 <-> 4450
   A3BF <-> 4345
   A3BF <-> 435B
   A3BF <-> 445C

A new conversion table was created for SNA Server, and the duplicate mapping combinations listed above were removed. The following file was changed to correct this problem:

<snaroot>\system\snadbcs.tbl

for Windows NT, Windows 95 and Windows 3.x clients.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 and 4.0 U.S. Service Packs. For information on obtaining these Service Packs, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
