SNA Workstation Traps When an APPC Application Calls DISPLAY()

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1
• Microsoft SNA Workstation, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1

SYMPTOMS

When an APPC application running on SNA Workstation makes a DISPLAY() call with disp.mode_def_info=AP_YES, SNA Workstation traps and generates a Drwatson32.log file.

CAUSE

The SNA Server Service incorrectly parses the configuration file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Workstation versions 3.0 and 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

With the fix applied, a change to Snaservr.exe is implemented on both SNA Server and SNA Workstation so that the trap in s1pnsdmd does not occur when the DISPLAY() call is made. Although you only see this problem with SNA Workstation, the fix changes Snaserver.exe in both SNA Server and SNA Workstation.
