Easiest is to activate the PCOMM trace facility. It will format the 3270 
data stream for you and show you what PCOMM received.  You can compare 
that to a sniffer trace (or host trace) of what VM is sending.  (The PCOMM 
trace facility is in the Administrative and PD Aids folder in the IBM 
Personal Communications folder.)

PROG 754 means "required parameters not provided" and from that I infer 
that the 3270 data stream was truncated somewhere along the way.  (The 
fact that it works for mod 4 and not mod 2 is disturbing, however.)

Comparing what PCOMM received and what VM sent will let you and the 
Support Center begin to narrow the problem.  It will also reveal exactly 
which of the dozen conditions for a PROG 754 occurred.
