RE: iSeries Access Problem -- MIDRANGE-L

Jack, if your company has software support, you will need to get yourcustomer number and serial number of the machine under support. Thenyou can call 1-800-ibm4serv, I think - I don't use this path but usedto. Go to www.iseries.ibm.com/support to get the right number. Givethem the info, be sure to identify it as an iSeries issue - do noteven use the word "Windows" or "PC" or they will go into la-la landat this first-level contact (end of small rant). You'll eventuallyget to a person in Rochester who will help you.

There is an Internet way, as well. IBM makes it a little confusing,as usual, but once you wend your way through, it's very nice - nowaiting with ear between head and shoulder. You need to register foran IBM user ID, you will need to include your machine info andcustomer number, then you will have access to reporting problems,ordering fixes directly from Boulder, the registered knowledge base, etc.

If you are the person who deals with ordering the machines and PTFs,etc., you have most this info. If not, find the person who is and getsome help. Or find out who your business partner is.


And Rob B., I'm sure I missed something, please jump in here.

HTH and good luck.

This is not restricted to this emulator is tweaked in iSeries Access,
it also happen with the Personal Communications emulator on which the
IA one is based. I've found no answer in the settings but have not
taken the time to report it. It usually seems to happen after I've
opened 3 or more sessions and/or have had them open a long time. I
just put up with it until I really need the copy/paste functions,
then I kill the session and start over, then go back to where I was.
I realize this is not the best answer for many, so it'd be great if
you reported it to IBM.
