Carol,

To expand a little on my previous reply (start the QSERVER subsystem):

  ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  Windows 95 Client Access Data Transfer will fail when
  the job is run in any subsystem other then QSERVER.
  The user is able to retrieve a list of libraries
  but queries and table or field catalog requests fail.
  The PC receives the error:
  MSGCWBDB0053 - Communication error received
                 during processing (System).
  MSGCWBDB0048 - Server returned general error
  AS/400 joblog would show (depending on version and PTF):
   MSGPWS0010 or MSGPWS0008
   MSGMCH3601 Pointer not set to location referenced
   MSGCPF9999 Function Check. MCH3601 unmonitored by QZDASQL
              at statement *N and instruction X'078B'
   MSGPWS0005 Error occured in OS/400 Database Server Code.
 
   Comm Trace shows that AS/400 is sending FMH -7 when a
   Stream Fetch Request is received by the Database Server.
 
   The Database server has two entry points for SNA
   attached devices: An ICF file based program allocated
   when the attach occurs on a session bound to mode
   description QPCSUPP (or other);  The QZDAINIT job
   allocated when the session is bound to mode description
   QSERVER.  The ICF file interface does not support
   the Database Server Stream Fetch operation used
   by Data transfer.  Any such job will fail.
 
   This error is usually seen on PCs connected via
   Mircosoft NT SNA server or Novell SAA.  By default,
   both connection types use QPCSUPP mode and not QSERVER.
 
 
 
  LOCAL FIX:
   If you are NOT running over SAA or SNA gateway and are still
   receiving similar error, a QSERVER mode description needs to
   be created on the AS/400. A QSERVER modd may be created using
   this command:
 
     CRTMODD MODD(QSERVER) MAXSSN(64) MAXCNV(64) INDTACPR(*LZ10)
              OUTDTACPR(*LZ10) TEXT('QSERVER MODD FOR CA/400')
 
 
   When running under SAA or SNA gateway a QSERVER modd needs
   to be created on the gateway as well.
 
   Novell SAA 2.x users require a fix from Novell SAA
   support.
 
   For a SNA server before you can configure a mode you may need
   to assign a Local APPC LU to a server and then associate the
   QSERVER mode for both local and remote APPC LU.
 
   Consult appropriate documentation to create a QSERVER modd
   on the server/gateway.
 
 
 
 
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
   Under Windows 95 Client Access Data Transfer will fail when
   the job is running under QCMN subsystem and/or using QPCSUPP
   mode description. An ICF file interface is used to process
   such jobs. But under ICF file interface Stream Fetch requests
   are not supported. So, any such data transfer job would
   fail.
   When PC is connected via SAA or SNA server data transfer
   job uses QPCSUPP mode and runs under QCMN. For SAA 2.0
   PC would generate this error: "CWBDB0053-Communication error
   received during processing (System)."
   AS/400 joblog would show:
     MCH3601 Pointer not set to location referenced
     CPF9999 Function Check. MCH3601 unmonitored by QZDASQL  at s
             statement *N and instruction X'078B'
   Comm Trace would show  that AS/400 is sending FMH -7 when a
   Stream Fetch Request is received by the SQL Server.
   Similar error messages may also be encountered when running
   through a MS SNA Server.
 
 
 
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  In order to run Data Transfer, the QSERVER mode description
  must be defined in the PC "router", the AS/400, and any
  APPN node on the network that may route the BIND.
  If the mode description QSERVER does not exist on
  the AS/400, one may be created using this command:
 
    CRTMODD MODD(QSERVER) MAXSSN(64) MAXCNV(64) INDTACPR(*LZ10)
             OUTDTACPR(*LZ10) TEXT('QSERVER MODD FOR CA/400')
 
  When running under a Netware for SAA or Microsoft SNA gateway a
  QSERVER mode description needs to be created on the gateway as
  well.
 
  Netware for SAA requires a fix to properly handle the
  QSERVER mode.  Contact Novell SAA support, apar JR09091
  for further details.
  The Novell SAA BBS number are: 919-254-6231 and 919-254-6306.
  The Web page is www.networking.ibm.com/nsa/nsamain.htm.
  The individual fixes are:
   D347-20.ZIP ; Fixes SAA 2.0 *** MUST HAVE SAA030 APPLIED ***
   D347-21.ZIP ; Fixes SAA 2.1 ( AS/400 Edition )
   D347-22.ZIP ; Fixes SAA 2.2
 
  The fixpacks are/will be:
    SAA20032 2.0
    SAA21010 2.1
    SAA22010 2.2
  Please note that you MUST be running Novell SAA 2.0 or later.
 
  Microsoft SNA Server:
  See the SNA Server Aministration Guide, "Configuring
  Modes for LU-LU Pairs", for instructions on how to
  configure new mode descriptions.
  You may need to assign a Local APPC LU to a server and then
  associate the QSERVER mode for both local and remote APPC LU.
 
  For detailed information on how to create QSERVER mode
  descriptions on the servers, consult the appropriate server
  documentation.
