SYMPTOMS

The SNA Server Windows NT 3.0 SP1 Client is does not correctly copy the SNANLS files or add the necessary registry settings during installation. Any Windows NT applications which make use of the SNA Server 3.0 SNANLS API character conversion functions will not work properly. This problem affects SNA Server-J client applications (such as the 3270 and 5250 applets, or AFTP), though it does not affect the English version of SNA Server client functions.

RESOLUTION

The client setup has been updated to correctly copy the NLS files and adds the required NLS registry settings.
