Porting from SCO 3.2.4 to SCO ODT 5.0.4
Posted in 1998
Hi,
I have a problem porting an application compiled for SCO 3.2.4 to SCO ODT
5.0.4
The system is a PC running Informix SE 5.0 and 4gl 4.1 "C" runtime.
I have copied the informix se and 4gl rt files over to ODT and the database
seems to work fine - dbaccess works and is able to successfully query the
db.
When I copy the 4gl binary over, it works until the second iteration of a
fetch .. update loop and then crashes with a coredump. The corefile just
says that there was a bad memcpy at an address. No trace information.
Is ODT binary compatible with SCO? ODT seems to use ELF format binarys
while SCO uses COFF.
If this isn't a binary compibility problem, then maybe it's to do with the
ISAM version of SE - the database interfaces with a C-ISAM system. Does
anyone know what C-ISAM versions are in each release of SE?
Thanks,
Ciaran Kelly
