Hi --

I am running an old version of Oracle (7.1.3.2) on VMS 6.1. I have written a small test program that only uses functions orlon and ologof to log into/log off of a database. If I link this program against the Oracle shareable image (using LNPROC TEST TEST), I can specify a connect string of something like user/password. If I link this program in 'two-task' mode, which apparently links in all of the .OLB files and no shareable images, this same program, when given the same connect string fails with a return code of 6400 'NETCMN: No default host string specified'. If i specify user/password_at_service, it works as expected...

Did I miss something, or is this the expected behavior...I was under the impression that the program should work identically if linked either with shareable image or the .OLB files.

Thanx.
