Symptoms

In a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2009 or 2010 environment, you have a screen scraping application that uses Session Integrator to communicate with an IBM mainframe application. In this case, if any of the mainframe application screens contain invalid 3270 control codes, Session Integrator returns the following exception to the calling application when Session Integrator processes an invalid 3270 control code:

Microsoft.HostIntegration.SNA.Session.SessionException: The screen is unformatted, no field exists.
at Microsoft.HostIntegration.SNA.Session.SessionException.EvaluateHR(Int32 hr)
at Microsoft.HostIntegration.SNA.Session.SessionDisplay.InternalGetFields(String searchText, ScreenFieldAttributeData attributes)
at Microsoft.HostIntegration.SNA.Session.SessionDisplay.GetFields()

Cause

This behavior is by design. Session Integrator returns an IBM sense code X’1003’ (Function Not Supported) error to the mainframe application when Session Integrator encounters an invalid 3270 Control Code. Additionally, Session Integrator returns the following exception to the calling application when this scenario occurs:

The screen is unformatted, no field exists.

More Information

After you apply this hotfix, Session Integrator passes invalid 3270 Control Codes to the calling application by using a new configuration property. If you want to enable the passing of invalid 3270 control codes, you have to change the Session Integrator application as follows:

  • If the Session Integrator application uses SessionConnectDisplay, add the following property:

    SessionConnectDisplay.InvalidCharacterSupport = InvalidCharacterAction.Allow;

  • If the Session Integrator application uses a connection string, change the connection string to include the INVALIDCHARACTERSUPPORT property as shown in the following example:

    m_Handler.Connect("TRANSPORT=TN3270;TN3270SERVER=address;TN3270Port=port;DeviceType=IBM-3278-2;SECURITY=TLS1;CERTIFICATECHECK=VERIFIED; INVALIDCHARACTERSUPPORT=ALLOW”);

If this feature is enabled, Session Integrator passes the invalid 3270 control codes to SNANLS (SNA National Language Support) for conversion. If the mainframe application screen sends EBCDIC characters C100C201C3, SNANLS will convert these characters to A00B01C. In this case, SNANLS has no character mappings for EBCDIC characters 00 and 01, and these characters are passed through with the same values. The Session Integrator application can then decide how to handle the characters that are passed through.

After you apply this hotfix, Session Integrator’s default behavior is not changed. If one of the methods that is described here is not used to enable the passing of invalid 3270 control codes, Session Integration continues to return a "The screen is unformatted, no field exists" exception.

The following are the 3270 control codes (values are in EBCDIC) that Session Integrator considers invalid, based on the 3270 Data Stream that IBM defines:

  • 01-04

  • 06-07

  • 09-0B

  • 0E-10

  • 14

  • 16-18

  • 1A-1B

  • 1F-27

  • 2A-2B

  • 2D-3B

  • 3D-3E

Note Control codes X’0E’ and X’0F’ are Shift-Out and Shift-In control codes that are used to shift between double-byte character set (DBCS) and single-byte character set (SBCS) characters in a data stream.
