Not sure, but it could be "simply" a scoping error.  Your syntax implies
that itr_amrs is an instance variable of gnv_app.  If so, you should try
this in the DW constructor event:
   li_return = dw_1.of_SetTransObject(gnv_app.itr_amrs)

If that doesn't work...

I notice you create itr_amrs, but register the name "AMRS" with the itr_atm
transaction object.  Double check that.

If that doesn't work...

I haven't used the transaction object registration service, but it looks
like to do so, you need something like this in the DW constructor event:
   n_tr ltr_amrs // local reference
   if (gnv_app.inv_trregistration.of_GetByName("AMRS", ltr_amrs) < 0) then
      MessageBox("blahblah", "Could not retrieve transaction object AMRS")
      return
   end if
   li_return = dw_1.of_SetTransObject(ltr_amrs)
   if (li_return <> 1) then
      blahblahblah...
      return
   end if

   --dang

Subject: PFCSIG: Connecting to Two Databases


I am using PowerBuilder 6.5 with Syabase 11 on an NT workstation.

I would like to make an application connect to two different databases.  I
put the following script in  the pfc_open event of the application manager
object:

// enable transaction registration
gnv_app.of_SetTrRegistration(TRUE)
// register SQLCA
gnv_app.inv_trregistration.of_Register(SQLCA)

// connect to and register ABRN_MRS database
itr_amrs = CREATE n_tr
il_return = SQLCA.of_CopyTo(itr_amrs)
itr_amrs.Database = "ABRN_MRS"
itr_amrs.ServerName = "MTPLZAFINQ3"
ll_return = itr_amrs.of_Connect()
If ll_return <> 0 then
        MessageBox("Connection Error", "Unable to connect to ABRN_MRS
database.")
End if
gnv_app.inv_trregistration.of_Register(itr_amrs)
itr_atm.of_SetName("AMRS")


------------------------------------------------

The above code isn't producing any errors, so I think it is working.  

My question is....   When I open a datawindow, how do I make it use the
ABRN_MRS database?

Instead of saying ...
li_return = dw_1.of_SetTransObject(SQLCA)

I tried...

li_return = dw_1.of_SetTransObject(itr_amrs)

and

li_return = dw_1.of_SetTransObject(AMRS)

In both cases, I got an message saying it doesn't recognize the variable.
So I tried making the n_tr variables global.  But then I got an error saying
that it couldn't assign dw_1 to the type u_dw.  

Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, Jill
