Problem calling runrep (MS-DOS Version)

I'm trying to port an Oracle 6 application from Unix to MS-DOS and I've got
a problem: when I call runrep from runform using HOST (...) function, or
from runmenu using OS_COMMAND (...), report executes well, but then, when
returning to runform or runmenu, I get an error saying there is no
connection with Oracle.



I suppose that Oracle 6 for MS-DOS, being mono-task, needs to close the
runmenu or runform connection in order to open a runrep connection. And
then, when the control is returned to runmenu or runform, the old
connection doesn't exist yet.



Then, how can I get a report from within runform or runmenu? A ProC call
will give me the same problem. I suppose there must be a way to fix this
behavior.



Please send me any answer or idea.
