SYMPTOMS
When you run a 16-bit Windows APPC or CPIC application, the SNA Server Windows 3.x client software displays the following error message:

Error 582:

No name supplied in the parameter list for this component



CAUSE
There are two causes for this problem:
 * If the SNA Server 2.1 Windows 3.x client software is being used, and if the SNA client software is unable to determine the Windows application name, or parse for its filename (used for internal reasons only), the SNA client will display this error. This problem is fixed in the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x client software.


 * When using the SNA Server 2.11 Windows client software, if the filename of the CPIC or APPC application happens to include a "0" (zero), the SNA client incorrectly parses the filename (again, used for internal reasons only), causing the error to occur.



RESOLUTION
If the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x client software is being used and the application filename includes a "0", a simple workaround would be to rename the file so it doesn't include the "0" character

An update to the SNA Server 2.11 Windows 3.x client software corrects this problem.

The updated Windows 3.x client file is:

\SYSTEM\WDMOD.DLL



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
