SYMPTOMS
========
An application that uses the AS/400 Data Queue ActiveX Control may experience
Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC) ALLOCATE verb errors after it
successfully connects to a number of data queues on an AS/400 computer.
The ALLOCATE verbs fail with the following return codes:
primary return_code = 0001 (PARAMETER_CHECK)
secondary return_code = 00000013 (AP_BAD_SECURITY)
In the reported instance of this problem, the ALLOCATE failure occurred while the
application is attempting to connect to a fifth data queue. The first four data
queue connections did not experience any problems due to the failures of
subsequent connection attempts.
CAUSE
=====
The AS/400 Data Queue ActiveX Control routine that is responsible for generating
the APPC ALLOCATE verb was incorrectly causing the ALLOCATE's security parameter
to be overwritten with invalid values under certain circumstances.
