SYMPTOMS
========
In some situations, such as performing a screen save from a TN5250 session to
the AS400, the APPC session fails (the AS/400 rejects one of the messages) and
an Event ID 16 is logged from the TN5250 Service on the SNA Server computer with
the following text:
The SNA TN5250 Service detected an unexpected passthrough parameter
data area flag from the client at <data>.
The client should not generate this information and it has been
suppressed. Please verify that the client software has all fix
updates applied.
CAUSE
=====
In some cases, the data flow comes across two socket calls. The TN5250 Service
is incorrectly handling the second call, causing the problem to occur.
