VAX-Alpha RTL/s "Not logged on" problem

We're running OpenVMS 7.1 on an Alpha against Oracle 7.3.2.3.0 and we've developed some code that we want to place in a Run-Time Library.

A requirement of the development is to be able to have multiple RTL that operate on a single schema ( single thread only ). Our problem is that we have the main program executing (Embedded SQL) the CONNECT statement and then calling various RTL function that insist we're not logged onto the database.

This appears to the fact that the main program and RTL don't share the embedded equivalent of the OCI LDA (?).

Oracle Technical Support tell us that the sqlca structure is used to hold log-on data but after running various bits with debug and setting watchpoints I'm convinced this is not the case at all. They could offer no further advise on the matter but we believe this is merely a case of can't be bothered as opposed to any technical issues.

Our current workaround involves calling an RTL function to log-on to the database but this will prevent the calling code from using other RTL's.

I assume we are just a PSECT away in an OPT file for the RTL from solving this.

Any assistance appreciated. Please reply via email
