-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The "No Line Formatting" option for 3270 Print Sessions was added in SNA Server
3.0 Service Pack 2. However, this option is not explained when selecting Help in
the 3270 tab of the printer session properties dialog.

CAUSE
=====

The explanation for this new 3270 print session option was inadvertently left
out of the Online Help for SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0 SP2 and
SP3. This problem has been corrected in SNA Server 4.0

MORE INFORMATION
================

This problem was scheduled to be fixed in SNA Server 3.0 Service Pack 3 but was
inadvertently left out.

The SNA Server 4.0 Online Help contains the following explanation for this
option:

No Line Formatting:

Prevents the SNA Print Service from inserting its own Carriage Return/Line Feed
(CR/LF) according to the dimensions specified in the Default Page Width field
(also on this property page). As No Line Formatting is a special case, this box
is usually not checked. It is a useful option when using physical printers that
do their own wrapping or are told to do their own wrapping with an Esc sequence.
The Esc sequence that causes a printer to do its own End-of-line wrap on PCL
printers is <Esc>&s0C.
