    ****************************************************************
    Users are unable to copy tabular data from Excel to IBM Personal
    Communications. Data from next column is merged and pasted in
    one column. Hence tabular form is not maintained after copied to
    IBM Personal communications screen. The behavior is dependent on
    the nature of tabular data. The problem may not occur always.
    

Problem conclusion

  • With this fix, after pasting tabular data from Excel onto IBM
    Personal Communications screen tabular form is maintained.
    PCSEDIT.DLL code changes have been made to ensure that the
    emulator session processes the tabular data correctly.
    
    Fix scheduled for IBM Personal Communications 6.0.17 Refresh
    Pack and 12.0.0.1 Fix Pack.
