SO I use multiple macros I created in AS400 PCOMM emulator to update different types data on files and preset screens. Most of these macros are some I have been using for quite some time and never had a problem until a couple months ago.
On this day I was using the same type of MACRO multiple times to update some screens when all of a sudden my AS400 EMULATOR shut down on me.
I logged back in and set up my screens again to update multiple data fields. The Macro worked on the first update, but when it went to the second screen to make an update AS400 shut down.
Each time AS400 shuts down I have to shut down all the AS400 windows I have open and end the PCSCM.EXE (32 Bit) Process.
Then open my AS400 back up again.
Now I can only use one macro at a time. I have to wait for awhile, Maybe 10 minutes or so, before I can either use the same macro or another one.
Each time it is not the same MACRO so it is not specific to one Macro. It is all of them. All the Macros I have I was able to use fine before hand.
None of my macros have any type of delay on them for any reason after each update, nor any type of hold, especially since I may be making multiple updates, one after the other. IN many cases it is the exact same update just for a different client.
I am not aware of any updates that occurred at the time to the AS400 system, Iseries, or on my computer. This was just a circumstance where all of a sudden they were fine. Then they were not.
I had our IT remove and reinstall the AS400 on my computer, that didn't work.
I had removed all my macros and started fresh and that didn't work.
No other programs are having any issues when this happened, only my AS400 Emulator related to macros.
I am trying to see if there is a setup I missed that might be causing this issue. Somehow was changed while using macros in the AS400 PCOMM Emulator.
