    Defect Status  

    Corrected by the new printd.exe and message.dat files included in the 22.1.2 (June, 2015) Service Pack (rep_change 2167). 

    Note: If the 22.1.2 Service Pack has been applied, make certain that the PC in question has the new printd.exe file *and* the new message.dat file. 

    If the PC's alephcom.ini file has Type=sp_exe , then consult Article 000044610 (see link below) in regard to getting the message.dat file. The new message.dat file can be found in the /exlibris/aleph/a22_1/aleph/pc_exe/sp_conf/alephcom/tab/eng/ directory on the server.
