Hello,

  I have a serious problem with Oracle Server for NetWare v6.0.36.1.0.   (and ORACLE RDBMS for DOS v6.0.34...)
  For example, next PL/SQL block not working properly (other words,   i have full crash of NetWare file server):

create table d( d date);
declare

  d_a constant date :='12-nov-93';


/*    ^^^^^^^^  BUG HERE !!!  */

  d_b date ;
begin
 d_b := d_a;
 insert into d values(d_a);
 commit;
end;
/

  If i remove keyword "CONSTANT", then it working normally!

create table d( d date);
declare
  d_a date :='12-nov-93';
  d_b date ;
begin
 d_b := d_a;
 insert into d values(d_a);
 commit;
end;
/

  Is it BUG or UNDOCUMMENTED FEATURE :( ???
