ExecProcedure and friends

Hi folks,

Has anyone had trouble with ExecProcedure and "CALL PROC ('...')" causing
the http daemon to hang--or rather the thread that the request is run
under? I'm attempting to call a program on the AS400 that will convert a
short julian date (yyyyddd) to a regular mm-dd-yy date, and both of the
following methods cause it to hang:

     oDQ.SQL = "CALL ITSR5.DATCON (x'" & JDate & "F')"
     oRS.Execute

     oRS.ExecProcedure("ITSR5.DATCON", JDate, GDate)

oDQ is an ODBCQuery object, and oRS is an ODBCResultSet object. The program
that is being called expects a six-byte alpha field in which to place its
output. Is there any way I can figure out where the call is going wrong? If
not, is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks,
