  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When the host sends invalid SCS commands or commands with    *
  * invalid arguments, the 3270 host print functionality does    *
  * not process the remaining print data stream and stops        *
  * printing.                                                    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Steps to recreate the problem:
  .
  1. Launch the 3270 printer session.
  2. While printing for 0x1A command, printing is stopped before
  the buffer is complete which is unexpected.
  

Problem conclusion

• The issue is observed due to invalid SCS commands or commands
  with invalid arguments.
  .
  PCSPD.DLL has been changed to ignore the additional 0x1A invalid
  command on top of APAR IT34600 which is already ignoring the
  0x34 and 0x02 command if IgnoreInvidSCSCommand keyword is set to
  Y in the .WS profile.
