    Fixes for the following problems found with the ISPF
    client/server component:
    - The FILEXFER service fails to complete the transfer of large
      files
    - The Workstation Agent installation program fails to run on
      Windows 7
    - The workstation agent hangs after the number of
      connect/disconnect requests from z/OS has exceeded the limit
      of 250
    - The workstation agent terminates with an exception when
      Windows "Language for non-Unicode programs" is set to
      "Chinese (PRC)"
    - An S0C4 can occur in module ISPMBW when attempting to display
      a popup panel
    

Problem conclusion

  • - NOTE: This is a FINREVERSAL of APAR OA17073
    - Numeric values stored in half-word fields could overflow
      during a large file transfer, causing the transfer to fail.
      These have been increased to full-word fields.
    - The Workstation Agent installation program has been updated
      to support running under Windows 7.
    - The Workstation Agent will issue an error message when
      the number of connect/disconnect requests exceeds the
      limit. Also the limit has been increased from 250 to 2500.
    - The Workstation Agent does not support the language
      "Chinese (PRC)". If the workstation agent detects Windows is
      using code page 936 (Simplified Chinese) it will change to
      supported code page 1252 (Latin 1).
    - ISPMBW is changed to avoid referencing storage before the
      first TXF entry.
