Hello,
I have been using DBD::RDB for a while now without any problems. This
was on VMS 7.2, with RDB v7.0.3-1.
We have a new machine with VMS 7.2 and RDB v7.0.6, which I want to use
this package on.
I tried just copying all the important files related to the DBD
package to the appropriate directories on that machine. When I now run
the exact same perl script on the new machine, it seems to go to sleep
in the DBD::RDB::st::_prepare() statement and never return. When I
look at that process, its state is LEF (Local Event Flag).
Strangely enough, if I step through this program using the Perl/TK
debugger "ptkdb", and I run to that statement and then do a "step
over", it works. Once I do this once, I can run the program to
completion without a problem!
Is there a version issue here which forces me to rebuild DBD::RDB with
the newer version of RDB? Technically the 2 versions of RDB are
supposed to be backwards-compatible, but that may be at an API and not
binary level.
Regards,
