PROBLEM: All calls to or from a GATE CTCP end with DIAG=130 (X'82').
DESCRIPTION: If the GATE control session LU is unbound by the PLU during
call setup (after data session LU allocation but before
establishment of the data session) the LU control block
becomes unusable. If all of these LUs become unavailable
calls to or from the CTCP will end with DIAG=130 (X'82').
SOLUTION: MCHNGTRQ modified to properly release LUs in the idle state
when the PLU unbinds.
VTMRCV1 modified to properly release LUs in the idle state
when VTAM sends NOTIFY/CLEANUP (PLU down).
The MCHSTRT routine modified to monitor for 'lost' LUs.
The following messages can be generated:
NAS4700W CONTROL SESSION LU luname UNBOUND WITH xxxx
ACTIVE SESSIONS
This message is issued when a GATE CTCP control session
sends an UNBIND to HNAS when HNAS has xxxx active data
sessions communicating with the CTCP. The data sessions
are terminated. No message is issued if xxxx is zero.
NAS4701W CONTROL SESSION LU luname RECEIVED CLEANUP WITH
xxxx ACTIVE SESSIONS
This message is issued when a GATE CTCP terminates
abnormally when HNAS has xxxx active data sessions
communicating with the CTCP. The data sessions are
terminated. No message is issued if xxxx is zero.
NAS4702W TIMER RELEASED IDLE LU luname
This message is issued when our timer logic detects an
idle LU on an active queue. The LU is returned to the
available queue. If you are getting this message please
notify Comm-Pro Associates technical support.

PROBLEM: New macro API (EZASMI) causes HNAS to treat the successful
initiation of a request as a failure. The problem was
observed with TCPIP socket request failures. The sockets
were actually allocated but were thought not to be. When
the socket requests were retried by HNAS, the stack responded
with an error code of 10205 ("the socket is a duplicate").
This is an indication that the initial socket requests
actually worked even though HNAS thought they had failed.
DESCRIPTION: HNAS issues an EZASMI macro to request service from the TCPIP
stack. The newer version of the TCPIP macro API is returning
a non-zero return code to HNAS on the 'success' path which has
also been the 'failure' path. In the past, the distinction
between success and failure was made by testing the EZASMI
return code. This is no longer possible.
SOLUTION: HNAS will be modified to support the Z/OS V1R2 dependencies.
Corrective logic will be included in HNAS Version 2 Release 1.

the same HNAS MCH control session LU HNAS receives 2 binds
(even with EAS=1 and PARSESS=NO specified on the APPL

HNAS treats the second BIND a logic error.
SOLUTION: VTMEXIT modified to reject the second BIND with sense

The following message is generated by VTAM when a second
BIND is rejected:
IST663I BIND FAIL REQUEST RECEIVED, SENSE=0805C5E7

PROBLEM: USER 198 ABEND with the message 'NAS HALT AT LOC XXXX
IN MCHLUIN: LUSVMSG INVALID' received after HNAS shutdown
sequence initiated ('Q' command entered).
DESCRIPTION: When the shutdown command is entered HNAS closes all open
ACBs so that PLUs are notified that HNAS has shut down.
Under some circumstances an operation that was pending
at the time of the shutdown is started after the ACB
close. This can result in the above HNAS HALT.
SOLUTION: MCHSUP modified to not process new events after shutdown
procedures have been initiated.
This problem has been fixed on distributions dated after
the CLOSE date. A ZAP is available.

PROBLEM: The following error message is generated when the DCEADDR=
operand is specified in conjunction with GATE=GENERAL/REPDCEADDR
on the REMOTE definition statement:
NAS1311W REMOTE DCEADDR INVALID WHEN CALLOUT NOT USED, IGNORED
DESCRIPTION: Normally the DCEADDR= operand is used for PCNE and/or PAD
callout. But because of this special GATE option, it is also
used for GATE callin processing.
SOLUTION: The test for callout must be crippled to allow DCEADDR= for
GATE processing.

PROBLEM: Calls received by HNAS cleared with CAUSE=0, DIAG=131.
The 131 code indicates that CUD0 in the Call Request
packet did not select a valid CTCP or LLC type.
DESCRIPTION: When a REMOTE TYPE=MCH or TYPE=XTP is coded with
GATE=GENERAL and CUD0= omitted or CUD0=ALL specified
then HNAS creates a default CUD0 mapping table. The
table has correct entries for GATE CTCP selection but
does not have correct entries for the LLC0 and LLC5
selection.
CIRCUMVENTION: Code CUD0=(xx,xx,...) and CTCP=(xx,xx,...) operands
to inform HNAS of the CUD0 values to accept.
APPLY_INFO: This problem is fixed in the HNAS V2R1M0 distribution.

DESCRIPTION: The HNAS LU control block used for LLC0 or LLC5 callout

not reset at the time of the UNBIND.

PROBLEM: HNAS fails to respond to a call request with either a
call accept or a clear.
DESCRIPTION: If HNAS receives a clear packet after giving a GATE
clear packet to TCP/IP but before receiving the TCP/IP
interrupt indicating that the clear has been sent,
the virtual circuit control block is left in an
invalid state. New calls are ignored in this state.
After a 10 minute delay the router may send a DIAG
packet with X'32' as data.

PROBLEM: HNAS does not rotate remote's X25 packet level window.
Result can be a RESET or CLEAR with cause/diag = 00/92.
DESCRIPTION: When an M-bit chain is received HNAS withholds the
RR packet for the last packet in the chain until the
chain has been delivered to the PLU. Because of a
logic error the RR sent when the transfer to the PLU
completes does not carry the correct P(R) value (the
value is valid but the window is not rotated to
reflect reception of the final packet in the chain).
If the PLU sends a data packet the window will be
rotated. If the PLU sends nothing and the remote
end times out waiting for the RR packet then a reset
or clear can be sent to HNAS to report the error. At
the installation where this was discovered both RESET
and CLEAR were sent to HNAS with the 00/92 cause and
diagnostic (in hex).
