PQ83272: EZZ6034I TELNET CONN xxxxxxxx LU **N/A** CONN DROP ERR 0008 IPADDR..PORT xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx..xxxx EZBTPOTS

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• RC0008 indicates a storage problem.  This error code is issued
  incorrectly.  The real problem is an errant client that
  negotiates a non TN3270E connection and then sends in device
  type IBM-3287-2 indicating printer emulation.  This device type
  is only supported on a TN3270E connection.
  

Local fix

• Fix the client.

  A TN3270 (Non TN3270E) connection gives a device type of
  printer. This is invalid according to the RFC. Telnet
  printers are only supported when TN3270E is negotiated.
  EZBTPOTS sets return code 8 which means storage shortage
  when it should give a more meaningful return code.
