RE: net.data error Incorrect symbol

 
It is common to make a copy of the IBM program DB2WWW in one of your own
libraries.  Chances are that if you upgraded or applied PTFs you need to
replace this copy of the program with the IBM version again.

Subject: Re: net.data error Incorrect symbol

We get that error occasionally, and it's pretty tough to diagnose
exactly what is going wrong.  We find that if we make a simple change to
the macro (add a few blank spaces somewhere) and save the file, it
usually takes care of the problem.

I think (and I'm just guessing here) that there is probably a problem
with the tokenized macro in the macro cache.  Changing the last modified
date/time will force the db2www cgi program to reread and re-tokenize
the macro.

Like I said, that's just a guess as to why this works, but regardless,
it generally solves the issue.

We started getting an error sent from net.data that has "Incorrect

restart the Apache server right away when we catch this the error goes

away without making any changes to the macro or any of the includes 
(just about all of our macros have includes) so we can prove it's not 
a constant error. The errors will start at random times and then go 
away by themselves. We were able to force it to happen by putting an 
error in one of the includes (add an extra @) and then taking it away 
again. No errors in any logs (that we can find). Anyone else come 
across this error before?
