2b. If you are using scanner device drivers supplied by Eastman Kodak
Company (tm), you must back up the files EXYKO.DLL and EXYKO.SYS,
and restore them after unpacking EVN121B.EXE.
3. Copy the EVN121.EXE and EVN121B.EXE files to the directory where
IWPM/2 is installed. (You can test the unpack program by using
any directory of your choice).
4. Run both of the unpack programs in your IWPM/2 directory:
For example, type EVN121 to first unpack EVN121.EXE, then
type EVN121B to unpack EVN121B.EXE. When these commands
are executed, you may be warned that the files listed above
already exists and you will be prompted to OVERWRITE.
Please respond Y to that prompt.
5. If you are using scanner device drivers supplied by Eastman Kodak
Company (tm), restore the files EXYKO.DLL and EXYKO.SYS from the
location where they were backed up in step (2b) above.
6. Re-boot and restart the workstation. Test the IWPM/2 fixes.
7. When you are confident that the IWPM/2 fixes are working the way you
desire, you can repeat steps 3 & 4 for all appropriate workstations.

*** FIX PROBLEM DESCRIPTIONS ***
************************************************************************
The following are descriptions of the fixes included in the modules
available with this package:
1) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/07/08 PMR: 0X140 B358 APAR: IR22992
The Document Verify function of IWPM/2 used during scanning operations
was not working correctly. Instead of waiting for the user to press
Enter to accept a page, IWPM/2 would, under certain conditions, restart
the scanner and continue to scan pages.
2) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/04 PMR: 3X872 B483 APAR: IR22823
When modifying a document with MVS/ESA ImagePlus, IWPM/2 could
corrupt the modify instructions, and end under OS/2 with the error:
SYS1943 TRAP 000D
3) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/04 PMR: 7X912 B068 APAR: IR23238
IWPM/2 was batch scanning with bar codes using the IWPM/2 Input
Filter for interpretation of barcodes in software.
The next to last and last documents scanned in a batch were
being stored to the host with the same barcode value.
This barcode value was placed in Scanner Data Field 3.
4) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/04 PMR: 3X793 B322 APAR: IR23268
IWPM/2 would display msgEVNA388D when attempting to scan with a
Sharp JX-450 or Howtek Scanmaster scanner when running on 95xx
series PS/2's, such as the 9595.
The problem was caused by the latest GPIB.SYS device driver, and latest
GPIB adapter card from National Instruments.
5) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/04 PMR: 9X470 B278 APAR: IR23277
IWPM/2 would display msgEVNI0250 during scanning, requiring
user intervention. The user would have to press the Scan pushbutton
in the New scan dialog box to continue scanning. This should be
unnecessary when batch scanning with the Kodak 900D scanner.
6) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/04 PMR: 2X272 B004 APAR: IR23288
In the IWPM/2 Scan Method, Keep Document Header could be set to
No, and greyed out (unselectable). This selection in
the scan options file for scan method could cause incorrect
scanner operation. For example, when batch scanning
single page documents, IWPM/2 could stop scanning after each page.
7) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/04 PMR: 2X278 B004 APAR: IR23304
When using IWPM/2 to perform host initiated batch scanning, the user
was forced to click on the scan button in the New scan dialog box
to continue scanning for the third document.
8) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/12 PMR: 23891 B044 APAR: IR23266
When a user scans a new document, they complete the scan,
press Cancel to remove the New scan dialog box, and select
Documents from the action bar to save the scanned file, but
the "Save" and "Save as" lines are greyed-out and cannot be
selected. If they select Documents a second time the Save
functions are enabled again.
9) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/12 PMR: 2X205 B246 APAR: IR23286
When scanning in duplex mode with the Bell & Howell
6338 Scanner attached through a Kofax card, IWPM/2 may treat
the scanner feeder is empty when it is not. The first side of
a page is scanned, and the user is waiting to scan the second
side when IWPM/2 issues msgEVNI388C ("The scanner's automatic
document feeder is empty"). When IWPM/2 resumed scanning,
it used the second side of the previous document as the first
side of the next documents.
No error messages are generated. No error occurs when the
users scan at a slower rate. Th error occurs when users
press scan and store in the New Scan dialog box at a faster
rate.
10) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/24 PMR: 95075 B033 APAR: IR23211
When performing duplex scanning with IWPM/2 1.2.0 or 1.2.1,
page 1 of 1 may be lost when another document has been scanned in.
For example, the following steps would occur:
- User starts scanning
- The first document is scanned
- The document is displayed in IWPM/2 as 'Page 1 of 1'
- The Scan pushbutton is pressed
- The IWPM/2 title bar displays 'Page 1 of 2'
- msgEVNI3C05 appears: "Storing document."
- msgEVNI0250 appears: "Document is now stored."
- Several other pages are scanned
- Then, IWPM/2 displays 'Page 2 of 2'
- When this occurs, page 1 has been mistakenly discarded without
being stored.
The Scan Overlap feature introduced in
IWPM/2 1.2.0 created a timing dependency, resulting in a
window through which scanned pages could be discarded.
11) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/09/01 PMR: 5X518 B322 APAR: IR23323
IWPM/2 was unable to print a PTOCA (coded data) object with an
IOCA (form) overlay name longer than 8 characters.
IWPM/2 would issue msgEVNA4228.
12) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/12 PMR: 22A52 BM20 APAR: IR23240
When the IWPM/2 working set was cleared by the ImagePlus host issuing
the Reset command, the clear could take to long to complete.
13) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/12 PMR: 0X796 B358 APAR: IR23357
During scanning, if the image scanned was smaller than the IWPM/2
display window, the user would see the page flicker several times
as IWPM/2 redrew the image redundantly.
14) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/08/12 PMR: 44A47 BM19 APAR: IR23411
When documents are sent from the host, and then stored back to
the host by IWPM/2, IWPM/2 would end with a TRAP, and host
communications would be lost as IWPM/2 was trying to store
the 11th document. IWPM/2 could be closed, or ended by OS/2
with a SYSxxxx error message.
15) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/09/07 PMR: 5062X B044 APAR: IR23400
When a document is saved on the workstation, the user expects
to see msgEVNI0263 informing them that the document has
been saved. This message was not displayed with IWPM/2 1.2.1.
16) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/09/08 PMR: 7X634 B378 APAR: IR23667
When using the REUI_MAGNIFYC Application Programming Interface
of IWPM/2 1.2.1 to perform page magnification from another application,
the pages would display improperly and eventually IWPM/2 would hang.
17) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/09/20 PMR: 1X828 B361 APAR: IR23681
The verify page function of IWPM/2 scanning may function incorrectly,
and display all pages, even though the user had chosen only to view
every nth page.
18) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: 3933X B292 APAR: IR23676
While the operator is scanning pages for insertion into a document
to be modified, if all of the scanned pages are discarded, and then
rescanned, IWPM/2 would display msgEVNA6802, indicating that the
modify operation had failed. This would occur when the user pressed
the Store pushbutton.
19) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: 5594X B044 APAR: IR23780
When using IWPM/2 in dual-display mode, and displaying PTOCA (coded
data) pages on the 8508 or 8506 display, the SWAPPER.DAT file used
by OS/2 to allocate virtual memory would grow excessively after many
PTOCA pages were displayed. For example, displaying 10 different
PTOCA pages could cause the SWAPPER.DAT file to grow by 1 Megabyte.
20) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: 5X055 OP1L2 APAR: IR23864
When using IWPM/2 with multiple 5250 emulator sessions defined,
and AS/400 ImagePlus is using the Return_Focus parameter of IWPM/2,
IWPM/2 could return focus to a 5250 session other than the one running
AS/400 ImagePlus. With the change for this APAR installed, an
environment variable can be defined in the CONFIG.SYS to indicate
a target 5250 session for IWPM/2 to return focus to.
The user must add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file:
SET EVN_EMULATOR=(PLU1,ID1),(PLU2,ID2),...(PLUN,IDN)
where PLU1,PLU2,..,PLUN are the PLU alias's of hosts as defined
by the IWPM/2 configuration program (EVNCONF.EXE).
Normally, the user will only need to specify one definition.
For example:
SET EVN_EMULATOR=(5250PLU,A)
...if the 5250 window for AS/400 ImagePlus was session 'A'.
If the user is using Communications Manager/2,
this variable will allow IWPM/2 to correctly identify the
Presentation Manager window of the session.
If the user is using earlier versions (Communications
Manager EE or ES), this variable will allow IWPM/2 to identify
the Presentation Manager window handle of the session
ONLY if there is no other Presentation Manager window
with the exact same size and position of the specified emulator
session.
NOTE: the user must always use the session specified by the
environment variable to sign on to AS/400 ImagePlus,
(or change the environment variable and reboot).
21) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: none APAR: IR23857
When scanning with IWPM/2 using IPFO to create a Machine-Generated
data stream (MGDS), no MGDS data would be sent to IWPM/2's host
in some cases. For example, when the document delimiter chosen
for scanning was "number of pages", and the user pressed the
"End batch" push button, no MGDS data would be sent to the host.
IPFO would issue a message relating to "Unreadable Characters".
22) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: none APAR: IR23923
When a problem condition arises that should cause IWPM/2 to issue
msgEVNA7FF4, this message is not displayed in a message box
to the user. The message can be displayed only by
selecting Diagnostics then displaying the IWPM/2 history buffer.
A situation where the message would occur would be when the
user attempts to display a document from AS/400 ImagePlus,
but the partner LU is incorrect in Communications Manager,
or the host names entries in the IWPM/2 configuration are incorrect.
In this example, the document would not be displayed, but no
explanation of why the display failed would be given to the user
by IWPM/2.
23) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: 4X085 B004 APAR: IR23924
Using IWPM/2 1.2.1 with AS/400 ImagePlus, and performing batch
scanning, the user had the IWPM/2 Display Time set to 4 seconds
to verify the document. When the user is dissatisfied with the
document, and attempts to stop scanning by pressing the Cancel
or Stop pushbuttons in IWPM/2's New scan window, IWPM/2 would
not stop scanning. The Scan Method was Host initiated
batch; verify level=page, verify interval=1.
24) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/08 PMR: 5X066 B358 APAR: IR23938
When viewing images with the Overview box displayed, if an image
window is closed with the Overview box displayed, IWPM/2 would
be ended with OS/2, and the error message SYS3175 displayed.
25) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/10/27 PMR: 1X464 B358 APAR: IR23396
IWPM/2 now has the following abilities to remap fonts as required
in specific customer situations:
- The ability to substitute 12.5 for 12 pitch fonts through an
environment variable placed in the CONFIG.SYS:
SET EVN_FONT_12_PITCH_REMAP=YES
This environment variable should be used only by customers who
have documents with 12 pitch fonts created with AS/400
ImagePlus 2.3, but began working with forms and 12.5
pitch fonts with AS/400 ImagePlus 2.2 or earlier.
- The ability to remap a 24 point Helvetica font to a smaller
font through an environment variable placed in the CONFIG.SYS:
SET EVN_FONT_HELV_24_PT_REMAP=YES
This environment variable should be used only by customers who
created documents with 24 point Helvetica, using IWPM/2 1.1,
before 24 point Helvetica was officially supported by IWPM/2.
- The ability to control the degree of tolerance IWPM/2 will apply
when selecting a font through OS/2, specifically regarding
whether the font chosen is bitmap or vector. This
environment variable must be placed in the CONFIG.SYS:
SET EVN_FONT_TOLERANCE=n
Where n is 0, or a value from 2 to 9. 9 is minimal
tolerance (the font returned from OS/2 will be an accurate match,
and likely a vector font), and 2 is maximum tolerance (the font
returned from OS/2 will likely be a bitmap font). If 0 is selected,
a vector font is used, if available.
The default is 3 (large chance of getting a bitmap font).
Bitmap fonts are faster than vector fonts. Vector fonts tend
to be closer in size to the font requested in the PTOCA document,
and may be more readable for that reason.
The workstation must be rebooted to activate these environment
variables.
26) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/11/04 PMR: 5239X B640 APAR: IR24047
The user would start IWPM/2, making sure that in the
Setup menu, the Save window positions option is selected.
The user would then minimize IWPM/2 by clicking on the arrow on
the top right of the main window. This turns IWPM/2 into in an icon.
On the OS/2 Desktop folder, the user would save the Presentation
Manager configuration and then stop OS/2.
After OS/2 has restarted, IWPM/2 would be restarted outside the
screen. The user could only get to IWPM/2 by
reorganizing the desktop, using the 'juxtaposition' option of
OS/2, to get the IWPM/2 window back on the screen.
This error has only been reported with French versions of OS/2
and IWPM/2. It was caused by an IWPM/2 error in recording
Presentation Manager coordinates. The error would only be
exposed in translated (non-U.S. English) versions of IWPM/2.
27) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/11/17 PMR: 6X121 B246 APAR: IR24265
IWPM/2 would hang while performing a host-initiated print
(AS/400 ImagePlus Demand Print). The IWPM/2 communications
component (EVNC.DLL) could, in such situations, slowly deplete
the Presentation Manager heap. This can eventually lead to hangs.
The problem could occur for customers that have AS/400 ImagePlus
as one of the selected hosts in their IWPM/2 configuration (EVNCFG.DAT)
and that receive the Obtain_Focus parameter on commands from a host.
Note that this heap depletion does not cause the OS/2 SWAPPER.DAT
file to grow. The memory depleted in the heap is a small amount of
memory, but from a limited supply.
28) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/12/16 PMR: 7X507 B469 APAR: IR24457
The user was scanning with the IBM 2456 scanner, IWPM/2 and AS/400 ImagePlus,
and IWPM/2 had two sets of scanner options defined, one using the
2456 automatic document feeder, and the other using the 2456 flatbed.
AS/400 ImagePlus can cause IWPM/2 to switch between the two scanner
options files. When AS/400 ImagePlus tells IWPM/2 to switch from
the feeder to flatbed mode, IWPM/2 would ignore the change in scanner
mode, and continue to attempt to use the 2456's automatic document
feeder.
29) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/12/16 PMR: 0X388 B49R APAR: IR23921
Scanning with IWPM/2, the Kodak 900 scanner, and MVS ImagePlus, the
user would experience scanner problems that could result in documents
not being stored to MVS, and messages indicating that host communications
had been lost. For example, msgEVNA7A00 ("APPC reported a possible
hardware, cable, or configuration problem. Contact your support
personnel."). Before receiving message EVNA7A00, the user would see
msgEVNA388D (unrecoverable scanner error), msgEVNI3C0A, and msgEVNA7A00.
The msgEVNA388D has its origin in the Kodak scanner, and cannot be
prevented in IWPM/2. The source of the IWPM/2 defect is that IWPM/2
would abnormally end communications with MVS, and not store the
last document. With the service for this APAR applied, when IWPM/2
encounters an unrecoverable scanner error (msgENVA388D), it will store
all documents that were completely received from the scanner. The
user must then determine which documents were successfully stored,
and begin rescanning with the first document not stored.
30) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/12/16 PMR: 3X069 B370 APAR: IR24308
IWPM/2's use of checkpoint files (*.CKP) while processing host-initiated
print requests could result in a low disk space condition on an
OS/2 workstation. Limited disk space availability on OS/2
workstations can result in a swapper full message or OS/2 terminating
IWPM/2 (PJ06311). AS/400 ImagePlus sends all documents to be printed
in large batches without dividing up the batches in segments. This can
result the accumulation of many printer checkpoint files in the IWPM/2
directory. With the following environment variable defined,
the reception of files from the host is paced:
SET EVN_WAF_PRINTCMD_PACING=YES
This service results in creating these checkpoint files more
slowly, but to properly address this problem, the user should, in addition
to applying the service for this APAR, do these two things:
1. Provide as much disk space as possible for the OS/2 SWAPPER.DAT
drive, installing a larger hard disk, if necessary.
2. Increase the Printer queue minimum reserve storage parameter
using the IWPM/2 configuration program (EVNCONF.EXE)
to at least 6000K to provide more space for the OS/2 SWAPPER.DAT
file. From the configuration program, select
Functions/Printing/Printer queue../Minimum Reserved Storage to
change this parameter.
31) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/12/16 PMR: 6X006 B379 APAR: IR24164
Most documents printed with IWPM/2 have 200 pels per inch. IWPM/2
can print images directly to the 4019 printer using 200 pels per inch.
With the 4029 driver, the printer could perform a resolution modification
to print the image at a different resolution, resulting in a loss of
image quality. With the service for this APAR applied, IWPM/2 prints
on the 4029 printer without resolution modification taking place, if
possible.
32) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 93/12/16 PMR: 8E900 B469 APAR: IR24610
MO:DCA documents can have one of two unit bases: 240 pels per inch,
or 1440 pels per inch. IWPM/2 can properly place and display overlay
images when using 1440 pels per inch. However, 1440 is often assumed
to be the unit base by IWPM/2. If 240 is used in the source document,
overlays may overlap each other, as IWPM/2 could assume 1440 at key
processing points. With the service for this APAR applied, IWPM/2
uses the correct specification of unit base in the MO:DCA document, and
can display documents using both 240 and 1440 pels per inch. In the
case of this APAR, 240 was used in the PGD (Page Descriptor).
33) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/01/21 PMR: 6X597 B322 APAR: IR24141
In a shared printer environment where the 4019 or 4029
printer is connected to an OS/2 2.0 or 2.1 server running IBM LAN
server, and the requester workstation running IWPM/2 1.2.1
and OS/2 2.1, pressing F7 (page print) repeatedly results in
the first page being printed, and the IWPM/2 requester workstation
issuing message EVNA4144. Selecting the retry/pause pushbuttons
would cause msgEVNA4144 to be issued again, and the original page to
be reprinted. IWPM/2 was not using the NEWFRAME command for each page.
Instead, the printer device context was opened once, and the entire
print job was sent. IWPM/2 will now use a NEWFRAME command for each
page. IWPM/2 will do this for each PrintImageData that followed
a Print Eject.
34) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/07 PMR: 9X053 B060 APAR: IR24769
Because of a problem with the Presentation Manager device driver
for the Image Adapter/A, IWPM/2 was unable to display a page, and
unable to post a message informing the user that the page could
not be presented. This fix addresses IWPM/2's inability to post the
message, not the cause of the page being unable to display. With this
fix installed, when a page is unpresentable due to Image Adapter/A
problems, IWPM/2 will successfully post message EVNA0402.
35) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/07 PMR: 4X826 B422 APAR: IR24874
When storing documents to a PC file during scanning (as with AS/400
ImagePlus), IWPM/2 usually writes the data in blocks of 16,384 bytes.
The exact value is determined by the Communication_Buffer_Size when
IWPM/2 is initialized by a controlling application.
If a document had a size in bytes that exactly matched a multiple
of Communication_Buff_Size (for example, 16384 bytes, 32K, 48K, 64K,
and so on), instead of closing the file, IWPM/2 would write the next
document scanned to the same file. So, two complete documents would
be stored to the same PC file, in AS/400 Shared Folders, or
elsewhere as determined by the controlling application (the problem
would not occur with MVS/ESA ImagePlus and IODM).
When two documents are stored in the same PC file, there would
be two complete document structures (each delimited by MO:DCA
BDT/EDT tags). When this file was displayed, the first document
would display, the second would not, and IWPM/2 would issue message
EVNW7FCE.
36) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/07 PMR: 7400X B639 APAR: IR24919
When communicating with MVS ImagePlus, IWPM/2 could corrupt the
TEMPID transaction. IWPM/2 would issue message EVNA0467, and IWPM/2
would be unable to store the document to MVS.
37) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/07 PMR: 9X097 B215 APAR: IR24985
When scanning with AS/400 ImagePlus, IWPM/2 would reject invalid
names for the scan options file if, for examples, the batch options
file name contained a backslash. Special characters cannot be
used as PC file names, and IWPM/2 must match the Document Profile
from AS/400 ImagePlus to the PC file name for a Scan Options File.
IWPM/2 would also issue an internal error message (EVNA0417).
With this fix applied, instead of issuing msgEVNA0417, IWPM/2
performs normal processing when the Scan Options File is not found:
searching for the default Scan Options files (such as DFTIND, and
DEFAULT).
38) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/25 PMR: 6E314 B004 APAR: IR24721
IWPM/2 was sizing the font box incorrectly, which could
result in coded data (PTOCA) characters overlapping when
displayed or printed. Also, customers who had a dependency
on IWPM/2 using the square character box that was used by
IWPM/2 1.2.0, can reactivate this style of font box by putting
this environment variable in the CONFIG.SYS, installing this
service, and rebooting the workstation:
SET EVN_FONT_UNITARY_ASPECT_RATIO=YES
39) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/25 PMR: 51091 B292 APAR: IR25129
IWPM/2 was mistakenly repeating values when exporting documents
in the RFT/IOCA format. (RFT = Revisable Form Text.)
The bad value would make the RFT invalid, and would occur
for the 2nd, and subsequent exported documents, when the user
was exporting several RFT documents from IWPM/2 in succession.
RFT is a choice of export format that the user can select in Save
controls for a Save routine.
40) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/02/25 PMR: 7X504 B033 APAR: IR25080
When using the Image Adapter/A card to support both a secondary
display (like the 8508 or 8506), and to support a printer (like the
4216), if the display was disconnected, and the user asked IWPM/2
to print on the 4216, the print job would not be sent to the printer,
and no error message would be issued. With the fix for
this problem applied, if the second display is disconnected, IWPM/2
will be able to print to the 4216. In certain circumstances,
such as when the display is disconnected after IWPM/2 has started,
IWPM/2 may be unable to print to the 4216, but will now issue
msgEVNA4144. Now, the display should be reattached, and
IWPM/2 restarted, or IWPM/2 should be reconfigured to have no
2nd display.

When performing workstation-initiated batch scanning, the
user was not allowed to verify a page before scanning continued.
Scanning was being performed using a Kodak scanner, with
Verify Level set to Page and the Verify Interval set
to 25. Therefore, IWPM/2 should allow the user to verify every 25th
page. The 25th page will display but scanning would continue
before the user has a chance to verify it (by pushing the Scan
pushbutton to continue scanning). The Display Time, under 'Batch
Options', for the Scan Method is set to 0 (zero). The zero
value should provide an infinite amount of time for verification;
that is, only user interaction can continue scanning.
IWPM/2 has been corrected to respect the verify settings.
42) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/03/29 PMR: 0876X B065 APAR: IR25238
When performing host-initiated batch scanning with IWPM/2 1.2,
the "ID required" setting is handled differently from IWPM/2
1.1.2. "ID required" is a setting of Scan Method. When
"ID required" is set to YES, the ID entered should be returned
in SCAN-FIELD2 of API-CAPTBAT used with AS/400 ImagePlus API's.
Without the service for this APAR installed, the ID is not returned
in this field.

When performing scanning with IWPM/2 1.2 and Kofax-attached
scanners, IWPM/2 would end with msgSYS**** (such as SYS3175),
if the Kofax DLL returned an error from scanner initialization.
The message from the Kofax DLL indicates a problem loading and
initializing Kofax adapter card. IWPM/2 would issue
msgEVNA388D ("scanner not available"), the Kofax error would be
repeated, IWPM/2 would issue msgEVNA04B0, and then IWPM/2 would
be ended.
44) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/03/29 PMR: 31830 B033 APAR: IR25633
The user was performing workstation-initiated batch scanning with
the Kodak ImageLink scanner. When performing duplex scanning, pages
could be missing from the documents stored. Typically, the first
page of a document would be lost when another document was scanned
in afterwards. This problem has been corrected with this fix.
45) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/03/29 APAR: IR25483
When performing scanning with IWPM/2 1.2 and a scanner attached to
the Image Adapter/A card, IWPM/2 would issue msgEVNA0402 after
scanning over time. To recover, the user would have to reboot.
This could happen because IWPM/2 would open a device context for
the scanner when scanning was started, but not close the device
context when scanning was finished.
46) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/04/11 PMR: 1565X B065
When performing floating-point math with the C/2 Alt-Math library,
IWPM/2 would receive an erroneous floating point divide by zero
error. With this fix installed, and activated by the environment
variable below, IWPM/2 will use its own floating point math routine.
The symptoms of the problem would be a hang as an IWPM/2 thread was
performing an operation that required floating point math. To
activate the change, add the following statement to the CONFIG.SYS
file:
SET EVN_CUSTOM_FLOAT_LIB=YES
and reboot the workstation.

When performing host-initiated batch scanning, with documents
delimited by user control, the scanner would stop after scanning a
page. Scanning was being performed using a Bell & Howell Copiscan II
scanner, with Verify Level set to Page and the Verify Interval set to
1. The Display Time (under 'Batch Options') for the Scan Method is set
to 2. The 2 value should provide 2 seconds for verification; that is,
scanning should continue after 2 seconds without user interaction.
IWPM/2 has been corrected to respect the verify settings.

If IWPM/2 abnormally ends while printing, checkpoint files
(********.CKP) may remain unprinted in the IWPM/2 directory. When
IWPM/2 is restarted, it could print only one of the files. The rest
would remain in the directory. The user would have to close and
restart IWPM/2 repeatedly to print each file one at a time.
50) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/05/25 PMR: 1E628 B004 APAR: IR26076
When printing coded data overlays on IWPM/2 printers, sometimes the
page would print with PTOCA data only. When the user requested to
print the document again, the pages would print correctly. The
problem does not occur for displaying, but only for print requests
initiated from the host. The error occurred because of a timing
problem in IWPM/2's print subsystem when it was receiving the IOCA
form from the host.
51) PROBLEM REFERENCE: FIX DATE: 94/06/27 PMR: 0X684 B358 APAR: IR25717
When performing host-initiated batch scanning with IWPM/2,

Courier font PTOCA pages display differently on workstations
with OS/2 2.0 and on workstations with OS/2 2.1. When using a
workstation with OS/2 2.1, use of the bold setting does not
result in as bold a version of the font. More fonts are provided
in OS/2 2.1 than were provided in OS/2 2.0, so when using OS/2
2.1 you will get the actual font requested. When using
OS/2 2.0, if the requested font is not available IWPM/2 selects
a font which is the closest match to the requested font.
Add the following environment variable to your CONFIG.SYS to
indicate the minimum allowable font width in twips:
SET EVN_MIN_FONTWIDTH=NNN
where NNN is the desired minimum character width in twips.
One twip is 1/1440 of an inch, a 10 pitch font has a twip
width of 144. If the EVN_MIN_FONTWIDTH environment variable
is used, the character width will be increased to the desired
minimum width for all pages displayed that contain PTOCA
data and a font width less than the desired minimum width.

When using IWPM/2 with the Cornerstone ImageAccel configuration, and
printing a text page, the printout of the page would be the correct
size.
When using IWPM/2 without the Cornerstone ImageAccel configuration
the memory used would grow excessively after each page was displayed
which depleted the memory on the workstation.
These problems were caused when the Cornerstone ImageAccel Scale-to-Gray
support was added to IWPM/2.
