SYMPTOMS
========

When you use a script file with the Microsoft 3270 applet (a new feature of
Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 1 [SP1]), with the host code page set to
Japanese, the script file will not run.

This problem is only seen on the Japanese (localized) version of SNA Server.

CAUSE
=====

The Operator Information Area (OIA) format used by the Japanese code page is
incorrect.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server, version 3.0 Service
Pack 1 (SP1) (Japanese version only). This problem was corrected in the latest
SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
