SYMPTOMS
Print Server may not honor SCS codes if you have selected the No Line
Formatting option for 3270 print sessions. The SCS code(s) are ignored by
the print service, and this causes the print job to ignore SCS formatting
and command execution.
In one reported case, Carriage Returns (0x0D) were ignored when they were
followed by certain combinations of other control codes and 3270 print
sessions were configured for No Line Formatting.
CAUSE
The Print service was written to ignore SCS codes if No Line Formatting is
selected.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 SP2
and 4.0.
This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server versions 3.0 and 4.0
U.S. Service Packs. For information on obtaining these Service Packs,
