Summary:
SYMPTOMS
When opening a cursor that is declared on an existing temporary
table, the following error occurs:
SQLCODE=-0000000208
SQLERRD(1)=+0000000208
SQLERRMC = Invalid object name '#tmp_table'.
CAUSE
SQL Server does not allow the use of user-defined temporary tables
in a cursor declaration. When using the nosqlaccess option during
compile time, the query that corresponds to the cursor declaration
is put in a plan file. When the open cursor statement is executed,
the query is sent to the SQL Server dynamically, but SQL Server
does not recognize the object. When the sqlaccess option is used,
the error message occurs while compiling.
WORKAROUND
Create a permanent table rather than a temporary table, and drop
the table before closing the current connection.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Embedded SQL for
COBOL versions 1.1 and 4.2. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here as it becomes available.
