Invalid sequence of DML and DDL on SELECT

[Jason T Marcotte]

On Win XP SAP 7.4.3 Build 17, I'm getting an Invalid sequence for DML and DDL statements (-3007) when attempting a select from a given table.  The error comes up via both JDBC and ODBC calls with any select from the problem table.

Documentation gives very little information on this error - it simply states "Repeat the QUERY and FETCH" which obviously does no good.  The problem goes away by dropping and recreating the table, but that's not ideal by any stretch of the imagination.

Is this an error at the parse phase?  ie if I flush the sql pool, might that help?  Typically, when there's DB catalog corruption, I get an AK catalog error - but could this be the problem nonetheless?

Any insight would be appreciated.
