IBM ValuePoint - "No Room PC Address" message with 5250 emulation

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
PS/ValuePoint systems (all machine types and models) may display a message stating "No Room PC Address Space for 5250 RAM', when the enhanced 5250 emulation program is started.

Problem Isolation Aids:
The enhanced 5250 emulation adapter requires 8Kb of ROM that must be mapped to the upper memory region of the system.

Fix:
If the customer is using a memory manager such as EMM386, or QEMM, ensure that an 'exclude' parameter is used to keep the necessary ROM space available for the 5250 adapter. Below is an example of the EMM386. The statement should follow the 'HIMEM.SYS' and 'DOS=HIGH,UMB' statements in the 'CONFIG.SYS'.
Example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=DC00-DDFF

AC00-ADFF
BC00-BDFF
CC00-CDFF
THE DEFAULT SETTING ===> DC00-DDFF
FOR THE 5250 ADAPTER EC00-EDFF
FC00-FDFF
This error message may also occur id the 'HISCAN' parameter is used with 'EMM386.EXE'. Remove this statement and re-test. the user should refer to the 5250 documentation for additional information.
