RE: Macros in iSeries Access

["Urbanek, Marty" <Marty_Urbanek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just tried one on mine but of course it worked fine, like your other
machines. I am at Win2K SP3 and iSeries Access V5R2 SI09809.

Have you applied the latest iSeries Access service pack?

Have you checked the logs in Windows Event Viewer?

subject: Macros in iSeries Access

I can't record macros in iSeries Access on my PC (W2K).  But I can on any
other PC I've tried in the whole place.

As soon as I name the macro, I get a dialog box that states:

"PCSWS.EXE has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.  You will
need to restart the program.  An error log is being created."

The only thing I can do is click OK and the session disappears.  The iSeries
thinks that device is still in use however.  I must reboot my PC to get it
back.  Simply restarting the session won't work.

I thought it was an iSeries access error log, but couldn't find one.  Then I
decided it was a Windows error log, but Dr Watson showed nothing.

I thought pcsws.exe might be corrupt, so I copied it from another PC to
mine.  No help, same error.

I checked the registered software knowledge base at IBM and the Midrange
archives and found nothing like my problem.  It _seems_ like a corrupt file
of some kind, but I don't know what.

Any suggestions?
