Hi Mark, I agree with you that there is a problem. I also noticed that change in CVS that you describe, and I'm trying to puzzle out why it was done that way.
I'm unclear as to why turning off the pending_insert flag should solve the multiple WTD issues, since each time it receives a new IC order, it just turns the flag back on. But, I haven't completely figured out what is going on, yet... just wanted to acknowledge the problem so you knew I was paying attention. :) On Thu, 6 Feb 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > UPDATE: To see an example of the difference between tn5250 and Client > Access: > 1.
