Title

Macro Does Not Run When Manually Specifying HLLAPI Short Name Using Extended ASCII Characters

Product

PASSPORT Web to Host

Emulation Types

TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60

Issue

I have configured my session to use the Extended ASCII character, "€", as the HLLAPI Short Name, however, I have noticed that this causes my macros to hang.  Is there a fix available for this issue?

Solution

Rocket Software has released a patch for PASSPORT Web to Host Version 2010-430, which resolves this issue.

Download the Patch

This patch must be applied to version 2010-430 of PASSPORT Web to Host only. If this is not done, unpredictable results may occur.

How to Apply the Patch:

1. Make sure PASSPORT Web to Host is not running.

2. For Windows IIS installation:
   Copy Passweb.cab and Ecomes.asp into the following directory: C:\Program Files\PASSPORT eClient Admin\Eclient\
   
   For a Java Application Server installation:
   FTP or copy the Passweb.cab and Ecomes.asp to the location on the web server where the Passweb.cab file already resides

More Information

• In addition to the alphabetic characters (A-Z) and numeric characters (0-9), you may also use ASCII characters and extended ASCII characters such as !,@, and #, etc. to specify the HLLAPI Short Name.  For a full list of ASCII/Extended ASCII characters that PASSPORT supports, please see the link below:
