More information

A COMTI Tracebits trace will contain the following line when this problem occurs:
13024 CStateMachObject::Invoke failed at point=1, hr=0x80020009.
A network protocol trace will show data that is returned to the host that is similar to the following:
0E 40 40 40 40 0F
In this example, x0E is the shift-out character, x40 is an EBCDIC SPACE character, and 0F is the shift-in character. This problem only occurs when an even number of SPACE characters is returned. If an odd number of SPACE characters is returned, or if any non-space character is returned with the SPACE characters, the DBCS conversion will succeed.
