SYMPTOMS

On certain 5250 screens, the WIN5250 applet incorrectly displays error messages on line 24. This results in the previously displayed text on line 24 being cleared, and this text is not refreshed after the error is reset.

CAUSE

In general, AS/400 system screens are not affected by this problem, as they use line 24 only for error information. This problem mainly affects custom written 5250 application screens that use line 24 for application data. If an error message is written to line 24, the application data is overwritten. The application data is not refreshed when the error is reset.
