What will service pack 3 (SP3) fix and when?
Why can't the tech support in Rochester AT LEAST know this apparently
confidential information that the developers know?

I posted to the code400-l@midrange.com mailing list for the first time this
week and I have gotten answers much quicker than the IBM tech support has
given me for most of the problems I report.  I have also seen posts of my
same problems on the mailing list archives.  Rob Berendt is right, I need
to post to midrange.com more often.

Thank you everyone (including Violaine Batthish) for the analysis to come
up with the information on my problem being resolved in SP3.  I wish I
could have gotten Violaine's answer from the IBM tech support I was in
contact with.  I told the tech support Violaine's answer.  It appears that
most of the problems I reported to IBM are already known and will be
resolved in SP3.  It would be extremely helpful to know the current
problems SP3 will fix and would save me hours of analysis.  Does anyone
know if that information is available?  I usually call IBM with a problem
and there is time spent trying to have them duplicate my problem.  Most of
the time they cannot duplicate it but after a couple days they say that my
problem is known and will be fixed in SP3.

Thanks,
Craig Strong

Hi Craig,

This is a known problem, and the fix will be available in V5R1M0 SP3  and
V4R5M1 SP3.

I believe in order to circumvent the problem, you can try to go to the
library list page in your Communication Properties window and ensure that
the current library specified for the server (probably OS400 in this case)
is not blank, but rather *USRPRF.

Thanks,
