Hi,

We have a SQL Server Win2000 box that exposes a web service. When called with an ADODB.Recordset object, the web service creates an instance of a COM+ DLL which then uploads data to our AS400 box.

The DLL is custom written in VB6 and I have debugged it on my development machine, it seems OK - I can write to the destination tables in the AS400 Library & call an RPG to manipulate the data.

However, when running from the SQL server, the DLL generates the following error...

-2147467259|Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers in source [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver][DB2 UDB]SQL0301 - Input host variable UPHSUP

The field UPHSUP was changed from character to numeric recently (kind of like a 'type mismatch' error?).

I've rebooted the SQL Server a few times, thought it's connection might have still be holding info about the schema before the field change? Could this be down to catalog caching or SQL package caching - so the server is not aware of the field definition change?

If this is my problem, them any pointers about how to reset the cache appreciated! Otherwise, any other hints please...!

Additional sys info.

Thanks

Try re-creating the ODBC data source.

Removing the packages fixed the problem...

Depending on the client application connecting to the box, they will use a different package. Removed them all to be sure!
