Googling (is that a word? What will the Queen think?) the error message brought up several possibilities. The most common one seemed to be an expired license key on the System i (licenses are not installed on the PC), and some kind of mismatch between the client-side emulator and the server-side base product. You can check your key expirations using CALL PGM(QSFWINV) PARM(*PRINT). It does not, however, tell you how many licenses you have, only the status.

Subject: IBM System i Access Emulator Troubles
(my apologies about the earlier incomplete message, I accidentally hit the
hot key that sends the message in GMail.)
My coworker is having issues with the Emulator that comes with System
i/iSeries Access for Windows. He's getting the following error when
attempting to signon to our system: "CWBLM0031 - Failure, a data conversion
error was returned by the host server rc=1 rc=2".
This point to a page that talks about running out of licenses:
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/1ac66549a21402188625680b0002037e/d260fd933dc02b6686256e99004cf945?OpenDocument
I've never had to do anything with licenses for iSeries Access when I
installed it on a PC. I updated the licenses for the product on the system
when we upgraded to V5R4M0 (which has a Usage Limit of *NOMAX).
Has anyone encountered this problem before, or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
