The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Host Access for IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.4a

SYMPTOMS

You are running the Microsoft Mail Gateway to PROFS Host Access and an incident report is sent to the "inform id" defined in "pwainit data." The first two lines of the incident report are:

   Incident report xx/xx/xx xx:xx:xx
   PWABFRD  XEDIT EPSSACSS LISTFILE failed RC=88

CAUSE

When PWABFRD has built the EPSSACSS LISTFILE, it attempts to XEDIT the file. With large user lists, XEDIT stops with the following error:

   RC=88 - File too large for virtual storage.

RESOLUTION

PWABFRD was rewritten to build the EPSSACSS LISTFILE in sections. This helped cut down on the massive virtual storage requirement. Thus, we are not as likely to run out of virtual storage.

New PWABFRD.CEX built to fix logic errors in code. PWABFH2L and PWABFL2H rebuilt to expand counters from 2 bytes to 4 bytes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.4 of Microsoft Mail Gateway to PROFS and OfficeVision. This problem was corrected in version 3.4.041 of PWABFRD.EXE. You can download PWABFRD.EXE, a self- extracting file, on the following services:
