  • Subject: SQL Problem in upgrading to V4R3 from V4R2

Hi friends,

We recently moved from V4R2 to V4R3 after having an initial hitch-up
with the first set of CDs. Now the new version (V4R3) is installed properly
on our system (S20). We are facing some problems after we moved to the 
new release. One of the problems we are facing is as follows......

 In SQL If we take  <F4> On "SELECT fields  . . . . . . ." of SELECT
statement to get the column descriptions, its giving the following error :

   "No fields available in chosen file or files". When I pressed <F1> on
this error message, It says the following :

  Cause . . . . . :   There are no fields that are available in the file or
         files that were selected from the file list.  One of the following
         conditions has occurred:

      -- The file has been deleted.
      -- Authorization to the file or files has changed.
      -- The file or files has been damaged.
      -- The session is not connected to a relational database.
      -- The current relational database manager does not support the
         DESCRIBE  TABLE statement.
      -- More information may be available in messages by pressing F10
         (Display messages in job log) on this display.

   Recovery  . . . :   If connected to the local relational database manager
        and the field list is needed, press F18 (Select fields) again.
Before
        the field list is shown, a request to select a file or files from
the file
        list will be shown on the display. If not connected to the local
relational
        database manager, connect to a relational database manager that
supports the
        DESCRIBE TABLE statement and request a field list again.

Does V4R3 supports DESCRIBE TABLE or not ?

         I have tried with different options here and found the following:
         If the File Object name is in quotes (" "), then its giving the 
         above error. 

For Ex. If the Object name is F.ILE1 (say), the SQL SELECT statement is 

   FROM files . . . . . . . . . .  LIB1/"F.ILE1"  
   SELECT fields  . . . . . . .  press <F4> here

then its giving the above error.

Now change the above object name to FILE1. Now the SQL SELECT statement is 

  FROM files . . . . . . . . . .  LIB1/FILE1  
  SELECT fields  . . . . . . .  press <F4> here

its showing the fields.

Please mail me the solutions as soon as possible.


Regards,
Murali Bhaavan.
