The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.1, 2.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you run a 16-bit Windows APPC or CPIC application, the SNA Server Windows
3.x client software displays the following error message:

  Error 582:
  No name supplied in the parameter list for this component

CAUSE
=====

There are two causes for this problem:

- If the SNA Server 2.1 Windows 3.x client software is being used, and if the
  SNA client software is unable to determine the Windows application name, or
  parse for its filename (used for internal reasons only), the SNA client will
  display this error. This problem is fixed in the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x
  client software.


- When using the SNA Server 2.11 Windows client software, if the filename of
  the CPIC or APPC application happens to include a "0" (zero), the SNA client
  incorrectly parses the filename (again, used for internal reasons only),
  causing the error to occur.

RESOLUTION
==========

If the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x client software is being used and the
application filename includes a "0", a simple workaround would be to rename the
file so it doesn't include the "0" character

An update to the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x client software corrects this
problem.

The updated Windows 3.x client file is:

  <winroot>\SYSTEM\WDMOD.DLL


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This
problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service
Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word
