RE: Upgrade to IDS 10
Posted in 2005
Guys- I'd really expect to see some issues related to running 4gl 7.20 against IDS version 10. We tried using 7.31.UC1 against a 9.4 installation and discovered that, although 99.9% of the code functioned as expected, a few statements returned unexpected results. These were all related to select statements from the system catalog. One specific instance is that on some of our programs, the current user is determined by this statement: SELECT user INTO g_uid FROM systables WHERE tabname = "systables" This always worked correctly against any engine up to 9.3 with 4gl 7.31. With IDS 9.4, it always generated this error: SQL statement error number -354. Incorrect database or cursor name format. No amount of recompiling, etc. fixed it, only upgrading to 4gl 7.32 cured the problem.
