OA66618: HOD 14.0.7 - UPON ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE A 3270 SESSION, THE SESSION HANGS AND FAILS TO CLOSE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• HOD 14.0.7.0-B20240315 - Upon attempting to close a 3270
  session, the session hangs and fails to close.
  The Java console throws a:
  
  "-  Java.lang.NullPointerException
  - SessionManager: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
   Unable to get version from eHLLAPI , May be down level
   Using EHLLAPI: Version not found
   Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
  java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError... '
  
  Conversely, under the Special build HOD
  14.0.6.0_iFix001_DOD-B20230814 where if the EHLLAPI code is NOT
  installed but the "enable EHLLAPI" checkbox is enabled, then the
  session fails to close with a hang.  There is an exception in
  the Java console but the sessions ACTUALLY closes and works
  correctly.   There is no Null Pointer Exception in the Special
  build HOD 14.0.6.0_iFix001_DOD-B20230814.
