Hi Joe,

I have experienced these problems often. It seems to be a mismatch
between the software on the PC and the software on the AS/400.

Uninstalling CA from the PC, followed by a clean install via NetServer
usually corrects these problems.

If I remember rightly, from V4R4 onwards, the latest CA service pack  on
the AS/400 is automatically applied to the PC during the installation of
CA. This ensures that both systems are at the same service level,
without the need for a separate service pack install.

If you subsequently update your AS/400 (eg. PTF install, Cum PTF, OS
upgrade, etc.) then the next time the PC connects to the server, the
Check Level process will ask you if wish to upgrade your PC software. If
you keep your AS/400 up-to-date, you should not need to worry about
service packs on the PC.
