Error description
Customer is having the issue with EIP CONVERSE when they are migrating from TS 13 to TS 42. the TOLENGTH is only set to 100/x64 bytes. This data is much shorter than what customer is expecting. The net result is the application RECEIVE data is less than the data entered from the screen. Further diagnosis, found that the final datastream returned on the converse looks to be corrupt because there is extra data within it. Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): CONVERSE TOLENGTH
