- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to access certain files on an AS/400, an Access Violation dialog box appears.

This problem occurs when a Host Column Description (HCD) -- or column binding -- is set to convert a Host Char field to a DBTYPE_I2. The function pointer for this type of conversion was never initialized but was called nonetheless, causing an access violation.

CAUSE

STATUS
