SYMPTOMS
The 3270 applet that is included with SNA Server may send a message using
the Exception Response protocol even though only the Definite Response
protocol has been negotiated during the bind. Therefore, the 3270 emulator
stops responding (hangs) unexpectedly.
CAUSE
The 3270 applet does not check the session parameter all the time to
determine what type of request it should send.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11 and
2.11 Service Pack 1.
This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S.
Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
