                    AST-3270 COAXII-CUT FTS-II FUNCTIONAL ISSUES

    AST Data Comm Product Marketing has reviewed all aspects of the following
    functional issues relating to the COAXII FTS-II product. They have made the
    determination that these issues will not be resolved for this product.

    These issues are as follows:

        - User has DOS/VSE/CICS installed on host and is running "VSE/SP
          Intelligent Workstation Support" facility.  When attempting a file
          transfer, the error message "INW0007I ERROR IN HOST TRANSFER FILE -
          TRANSFER TERMINATED" is generated.  The "Intelligent Workstation
          Support" facility is not supported with COAXII-CUT software or FTS-II.
          (PR#B41002)

        - When downloading files which have record lengths of 80 characters, the
          FTS-II software will either duplicate or omit some of the records at
          random places in the file. The host system where this occurs is running
          under VM/CMS Release 4. (PR#B41010)
