We recently went from an ODBC to a jconn3 connection to Sybase, and I found that my application level transaction handling blew up because jconn3 defaults to chained transactions. Lazy guy that I am, I just went ahead and made all the procedures in the database "anymode" in terms of chaining - now the application seems to be working fine as is. Is there a drawback to making them all "anymode", i.e., sp_procxmode [procname], "anymode"?

Thanks in advance,
Al
