IBM PC - DOS 3270 application fails to connect under OS/2
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
Any IBM PC 300/700 Series, IBM PS/2, or PS/ValuePoint system may fail to connect a DOS 3270 application to the network while running in an OS/2 environment.
Problem Isolation Aids :
The DOS based 3270 application may exhibit either of the following symptoms while attempting to connect to the network:
a) The DOS based 3270 application never connects to the network and posts various configuration errors during the attempt.
b) To gain access to the network, the DOS based 3270 application must be started, closed, and restarted to connect.
c) A DOS Full Screen session must be opened and closed while the 3270 application is starting.
Fix :
DOS based 3270 applications are not supported in an OS/2 environment due to the direct hardware access requirements.
Customers experiencing failures with this configuration should either use the Dual Boot feature of OS/2 to run the application in a DOS environment or choose a 3270 application that is compatible with OS/2.
