Error description
My laptop was re-imaged last week and Pcomm (IBM Personal Communications) v6.0 was installed. Since then I have had trouble making it keep the port I specify for the telnet3270 definition. I finally traced it down to this. If I start a Pcomm session that is set to NOT auto connect, and I select 'configure' before connecting, Pcomm is putting 23 in the port and wiping out what I already had in there. It leaves 23 in there even if I cancel out. It only does this if there is something in the Host Name field.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of Quick Connect Bar * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User specified port number is reset to * * 23 when opening the Link Parameters * * panel. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When a Pcomm session is started without Autoconnect and the port number is not set to 23 and the user goes to the menu bar 'Communication' -> 'Configure' -> 'Link parameters', the original user's port number setting is changed to 23. The port number read from the WS profile is being changed to 23 when processing the Quick Connect Bar data.
Problem conclusion
PCSWS.EXE and PCSTLNET.DLL have been changed to look for a user assigned port value before setting the default value of 23 in the Link Parameters panel. Fix scheduled for PCOM 6.0.4 Refresh Pack
