  Problem description: One of the internal IBM customer reported,
  when taking a data VP from the FTE application, it throws an
  error message as attached in the DemoRFT_TerminalExt_DataVP.jpg
  file. - This does not cause any harm as we were able to take a
  data but the error message should be fixed.
  
  To reproduce this problem: Please use the attached FTE emulator
  in the Application rep.
  
  1) Open a Terminal application
  2) Select TN3270E as terminal type, type localhost as host, port
  number should be 24
  3) Click on Connect
  4) FTE should come up
  5) Open RFT, try to take a data VP for any text in the FTE
  terminal and you will see the attached error message.
  
  Expected: Error free message data VP
  Actual: *** Invalid resource[Current text value] *** when taking
  a dataVP
