APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  Personal Communications 6.0.6
  Personal Communications 6.0.5
  
  The session is reading the LastExitView of PCSWIN.INI instead
  of .WS file even If LastExitViewFromINI = 'F' registry key is

  WS file.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The PCSWS session reads LastExitView    *
  *                      infromation from the PCSWIN.INI file    *
  *                      even if LastExitViewFromINI registry    *
  *                      key is set to F (false).                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Even if LastExitViewFromINI registry key is set to 'F' false,
  the PCSWS profile is selected from the PCSWIN.INI instead of
  the .WS file. This prevents LastExitView value configured per
  session from being reflected on the desktop.
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSWS.EXE has been changed to verify the location from where
  LastExitView value should be read.
