Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: PCOMM users who utilize the  'STRPCCMD       *
  *                 PCCMD()' command.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If the user issues : STRPCCMD PCCMD     *
  *                      ('NET USE') then the PCOMM screen       *
  *                      will be erased and will not auto        *
  *                      refresh after the command is finished.  *
  *                      This is not the expected behavior.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  PCOM is working as designed in this case, however, there is a
  keyword "STRPCCMD_Pause" that can be used to solve such a
  problem but will not meet customer requirements for other data
  behavior in regard to STRPCCMD command.
  

Problem conclusion

• Without changing the current behavior of "STRPCCMD_Pause"
  keyword, PCSCC.DLL and PCSPCO.DLL have been changed to check a
  registry key to satisfy the customer requirement as below.
  
  Add a registry string "STRPCCMD_Pause" and set its value to
  "Y" in registry key:
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\PersonalCommunications
  \CurrentVersion\PCSWIN]
  
  will enable the same feature as keyword "STRPCCMD_Pause=Y"
  in workstation profile, except the PCOMM 5250 session will get
  screen refreshed and not stopped after the command is issued.
  
  Limitation: This implementation is only for Japanese code page
  sessions, and only works when the registry string
  "STRPCCMD_Pause" has a value set to "Y"  and keyword
  "STRPCCMD_Pause" keyword does NOT appear in the .ws profile.
  (This implementation will become invalid when keyword
  "STRPCCMD_Pause" exists in the workstation profile no matter
  if it is set to "Y" or "N".)
  
  Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.6 Refresh Pack
  

Temporary fix
