   I posted the following on the vmgopher list recently.  We haven't
installed the PTF yet but I did zap the dmspipe module which prevented
the errors (this was on tn3270 connections) but also seemed to suppress the
messages too...  However, the test program with the apar worked ok with the
zap on.  I'm not enough of a "plumber" or "tuber" to know what all that means.

   Eeek.  I should have checked IBMLink.  The APAR below appears to correct
the problem with the "ugly" error messages to certain terminals when in ESA
(or XA apparently) mode.  Can anyone verify this?  We are real new to VM/ESA
so while I've ordered the APAR it may take us a few days to get it installed.
(While the problem mentions 7171 terminals we've seen this - or a similar
problem - on tn3270 sessions).

   Happy Holidays!     Marty

   * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using the PIPELINE FULLSCREEN      *
   *                      stage command to write 3270 data        *

   *                      is rejected.                            *

   ****************************************************************
   The following PIPELINE EXEC results in a command reject:

   /**/
    'PIPE',
      '  Literal' '00031DE8'x || 'This is a write         ' ,
      '| fullscr path fsbug noread noclose' ,
      '| spec 1.1 1',
      '| var aid'

   The problem occurs in DMSPSS following the FOOLCONSOLE label.
   When attempting to establish addressability to the CONSOLE
   QUERY DSECT (CQYSECT), a 'L  R4,CONQRY' is performed prior to
   the USING statement.  This should be a 'LA  R4,CONQRY'.


   PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
   DMSPSS has been changed to correctly point to the CONSOLE
   QUERY DSECT.
