SYMPTOMS
========

There is no way to acquire a 3270 LU with the SNA Server SLI API. It can only
access LUA defined LUs.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the hotfix mentioned below. With the hotfix, the
SLI application can access LUs configured as 3270 Lus, in addition to LUA LUs.
To do so, the application must set the lua_resv56[2] byte in the SLI_OPEN VCB to
0x01.

NOTE: The RUI API uses a different byte to perform the same operation.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack.
