Error description

• Copy/Paste not working correctly when run from a macro. Some
  times it get data before the cursor, some times after.
  
  In one session the user runs the macro and answers the macro
  prompts, then after the data is entered then, macro outputs
  data to that initial screen and copies it to the clipboard.
  This is where it either grabs everything before the cursor or
  after (should always be after).
  
  On a second session, the user should be able to paste that
  copied output.

  * Macros with (edit-copy) functionality may not correctly copy *
  * and paste the desired data when used with IBM Personal       *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  (edit-copy) Macro function copies the data from the selected
  trim rectangle. Sometimes this functionality may not work as
  expected due to the cursor not being set to the correct position
  prior to calling (edit-copy).
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSECL.DLL code has been corrected to ensure that the cursor
  position is set prior to calling the (edit-copy) function.
  
  Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.17 Refresh Pack
