Error description

  • 3270 SSL emulator sessions hang after running for some time.

Issue started after migration from 5.7 to 6.0.2. Happens on XP

usage, one session stops responding. Can not start any new
sessions at this time. Other active sessions still work.

****************************************************************
While processing IAC (interpret as command) telnet data, there
were some other procedures still using the data necessary for
IAC processing. This caused the session to hang.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • PCSTLNET.DLL has been changed to wait for the preliminary
procedures to finish before processing the IAC. A time delay
has been added to correct this error.

Fix is scheduled for PCOM 5.9.8 Refresh Pack
Fix is scheduled for PCOM 6.0.4 Refresh Pack

ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS:
3270 Associated Printer session fails to re-connect after a host
print job completes normally. Task Manager shows the PCSWS.EXE
process does not terminate when the session is closed.
