| You can use the TFRM36 and STRM36PRC commands to transfer the display
| station to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine.
| You can also use the pass-through support to transfer the display station to an | AS/400 Advanced 36 machine. When the OS/400 operating system and the | AS/400 Advanced 36 machine are on the same physical system, the APPC or | APPN support uses the Internal Local Area Network (ILAN) to link for the pass-
| through.
| Attention: You should not transfer the OS/400 console to an AS/400 Advanced 36
| machine.
OS/400 allows up to ten characters for a user ID. An AS/400 Advanced 36 machine allows up to eight characters for the user ID. For this reason, when you choose to automatically sign on to the AS/400 Advanced 36 machine, the first eight characters of the OS/400 user ID are used. If two user IDs start with the same eight characters, this could be a security problem. For example, the following user IDs would all be shortened to MICHAELS:
MICHAELS MICHAELSON MICHAELSEN MICHAELSRM
Restrictions on Transfers using the TFRM36 and STRM36PRC
Commands
The following restrictions apply when using the TFRM36 or the STRM36PRC CL command to transfer to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine:
The AS/400 Advanced 36 machine specified on the M36 parameter must be STARTING or STARTED. If the STATUS of the machine is STARTED, the
Transferring to M36
transfer request proceeds immediately. If the machine STATUS changes to STARTED before two minutes are up, the transfer proceeds. After two minutes, if the machine STATUS is still STARTING, the transfer request ends with an error. The STATUS of the AS/400 Advanced 36 machine can be found by using the Work AS/400 Advanced 36 Machine (WRKM36) CL command. | For more information on the WRKM36 CL command, see “Using the Work with
| AS/400 Advanced 36 Machine Command” on page 30-1.
If the AUTOSIGNON function is used during the transfer, the AS/400 Advanced 36 machine being transferred to must have AUTOSIGNON(*ENABLE) specified or a message is issued. For TFRM36, the transfer continues and
AUTOSIGNON(*NO) is used.
When you set up your AS/400 Advanced 36 machine, you need to decide whether to allow automatic sign-on or not. If you allow automatic signon, an SSP signon display is not seen because the user ID is already signed on to OS/400.
A user ID that is greater than eight characters is truncated to an eight-character user ID when they transfer to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine.
The STRM36PRC command cannot be sent to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine display station that is configured as an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine data display station. It must be sent to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine display station that is configured as a command display station.
If you specify automatic signon for the TFRM36 command and specify a menu, library, or procedure, the command must be sent to a display station which is configured as a command display station. These parameters are not allowed when you sign on to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine data display station.
Problems can occur if the TFRM36 or STRM36PRC CL commands are used while you are reloading SSP. The TFRM36 or STRM36PRC commands can be discarded and there may be no record that the commands did not complete successfully.
| From a non-local display station that was transferred to an AS/400 Advanced | 36 machine using the TFRM36 or STRM36PRC commands, functions like | display station passthru and 3270 device emulation might not work correctly. In | some cases, the format of the data returned to the application for signed | numeric processing and trailing nulls processing will be different on the AS/400
| Advanced 36 machine than it was on a System/36.
| If the Test Request key is pressed on a non-local display that is transferred to | an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine using the TFRM36 or STRM36PRC, an error | message is shown that indicates the key is not supported.
| From a non-local display station that was transferred to an AS/400 Advanced | 36 machine using the TFRM36 or STRM36PRC commands, some text pro- | cessing functions (for example, editing a document) do not work like they did
| on a System/36.
| – Help and print keys
| When you edit a document, the modified data in the document is not | returned to the system when either the help key or print key is pressed.
Transferring to M36
| Some non-local displays do not support the System/36 TEXTDOC proce- | dure. If the system can determine that the display does not support | System/36 text, the following error message is shown:
| Text processing is not supported on this display.
| – 3477 Extended Attributes
| The AS/400 Advanced 36 machine never sends the 3477 extended attri- | butes to non-local transferred displays. Some display station emulators | (For example: Personal Communications 5250 (PCOM), Client Access for | Windows, Client Access for OS/2, Connection Program/6000) expect the | 3477 extended attributes to be sent. If you do any text processing from | any of these displays, an error message is shown that indicates the display
| station has a program error.
| The PASSTHRU procedure will not work from a non-local display that was | transferred to an AS/400 Advanced 36 machine using the TFRM36 or
| STRM36PRC commands. If you want to passthru to another system from one | of these displays, use the RUN400 OCL statement to run the OS/400
| STRPASTHR CL command to passthru to the other system.
| From a non-local display station that was transferred to an AS/400 Advanced | 36 machine using the TFRM36 or STRM36PRC commands, if data is to be | returned to the application on a read immediate operation, the application will | not work like it did on the System/36. On the System/36, the data was always | returned regardless of whether the modified data tag was set. On an AS/400 | Advanced 36 machine, the data is only returned if the modified data tag is set. | The modified data tag can be set when the field is defined or when the data in
| the field is modified.
