IC51468: HOD FIX FOR FTE METHOD LAYOUTCONTAINER() HAS INCORRECT CHECK FOR FTE

IBM Websphere Host On-Demand V10.0.3.0 Manufacturing Refresh

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• FTE uses the HOD beans, one of the beans is layoutContainer().
  In this method, a check is made for "screen.isFixedFontSize()
  which used the screenText Object.  In HOD, the code returns
  before the check is made because the width and heighth is zero.
  For FTE, the size is not zero but the check is not being made
  and causes screen size to be wrong.

  ****************************************************************
  One of the methods used in FTE checks the screenText object.
  In Host On-Demand the check is not performed and returns since
  the initial width and height are zero. In FTE the sizes are
  not zero, but the screenText object is not set to zero and
  needed to be handled.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was modified to check for a null screenText object
  and returns if it is. If it is not null, processing continues.
  

Temporary fix
