ID Number: Q70000

OS/2

buglist1.10 fixlist1.16

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: PRSQL9012040

SYMPTOMS

Contrary to what is documented on page 69 of the "Microsoft SQL

Server Programmer's Reference," if the destination parameter is

NULL, dbconvert() will not call the error handler.

RESOLUTION

Dbconvert() returns -1 to indicate that the function failed. Test

for this return value after making the function call.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with DB-LIBRARY

(dblib) version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in DB-LIBRARY

version 1.16, which is available from Microsoft Product Support

Services. For more information, please contact your primary support

provider.
