Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All ISPF users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Various changes to ISPF to fix problems * * with the ISPF client/server component. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** 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.
