dbexport brain-dead? -Reply

I am told that my mail client (groupwise) somehow causes the reponses I make to posts not to thread correctly, and since you have no-spammed your reply address (and since I have a philosophical objection to decoding it), you Cosmo, may not receive this reply, but the answer that you are looking for could lie in the following; In a recent version of ODS (7.14 something) some cosmetic stripping of comments was added to parts of the code, possibly to reduce the size of the programs. An unfortunate corrollary was that stored procedures which contain single quotes (I believe) then end up getting stripped. In practical terms this means dbexport stopped working. I suggest you contact your technical support and see if this is the case for you. It sounds like it could be. A patch release exists. rgds Peter Tashkoff <tashkop@zespri.co.nz> Zespri International Limited This posting may not be used by any party to vilify another.

In the middle of running, it exits with the error "201 A syntax error has occured". Now, how does dbexport trip over statements it is generating itself??? This is bizarre . . . So, one part of dbexport is generating SQL statements, and another is checking its own syntax and rejecting its self-generated SQL statements???
