Error ab_RfcSetHeader> invalid compression value 5 received

our program is using the latest 32 bit non-unicode library(from 640 branch), and is trying to talk to a SAP BI7 server on a netweaver2004s with stack 10, and presumly has a 64bit unicode rfc library. Is there a known issue in the RFC communication between a 64bit unicode AIX installation using a 32bit nonunicode rfc library?

We received this error from RFC dispatch call:

>>> RfcDispatch [6] ...

Received RFCHEADER [6]: 01/BIG/IEEE/SPACE-U2/4102

Error ab_RfcSetHeader> invalid compression value 5 received

now, this happened after the incoming RFC connection request is accepted.

*> RfcAcceptExt: -a SAPB05 -g vb05cs01 -x sapgw00

L-GetCodePage (DEFAULT-CP) rc = 0: 1100

resize I/O buffer to 16000 bytes

>>>> [6] < accepted > : REG <ac: 6> L >>> ACCEPT

This error occured when the MDMP code page is set to unicode, it needs to be set to non-unicode in order for the unicode library to talk to the non-unicode exteranal rfc program
