Hi all,
Recently my client has changed there hosting from one data center to another IBM data center. We have tested all the programs, PROCs, screens and all are working fine.
But only one screen is giving PROG573 error and hangs PCOMM,so we have to disconnect and reconnect it again. ( This program is now also working fine in old data center)

I have searched abot this error over internet but not able to get a good answer.

The same program is used with different transid and different maps. The abend occurs while trying to send a particular error message to the screen.

Is there any way to figure out what is the real cause of this? Is this a problem of emulator or a program error. ?

If you look at the online help for the PComm emulator you'll find the error messages and code 753 defined.

My best guess is a mismatch between terminal model definitions:
Model 2 - 24 lines x 80 columns
Model 5 - 27 lines x 132 columns

Perhaps an application wants to use a full 132 column display?

The culprit program is probably assuming the terminal is capable of extended attributes and it is not. Try setting PCOMM to use the various terminal types and see if any work. I'm guessing you need to use one of the extended ones, like 3278MxE or 3279MxE (where the x is 2,3,4,5 depending on the rows,cols you want).
Years ago we battled lots of applications that had this problem.
