The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail Host Access for IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.4a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

You are running the Microsoft Mail Gateway to PROFS Host Access and an incident
report is sent to the "inform id" defined in "pwainit data." The first two lines
of the incident report are:

  Incident report xx/xx/xx xx:xx:xx
  PWABFUP Unable to spool PUNCH to MSCAL M RC=3D1003

CAUSE
=====

PWAFSCSI EXEC did not release STEM variable prior to calling PWACKCSI EXEC.
There were three sets of local arrays (called STEM variables in REXX) which
contained lines of attachments, message body and addressing information related
to currently processed mail item from mailbag. Those variables took significant
memory space.

RESOLUTION
==========

ONE LINE added to the program to free up memory:

  DROP ATT_TEXT. MSG_TEXT. MESSAGE_TO,

Added prior to calling PWACKCSI EXEC which is responsible for processing of mail
item.

New PWAFSCSI.XEC built to fix logic errors in code.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.4 of Microsoft Mail
Gateway to PROFS and OfficeVision. This problem was corrected in version 3.4.041
of PWAFSCSI.XEC.
