I'm workin in an italian software house, and I've got a tremendous problem in porting our packages (developed with SQL*FORMS 2/3) in a client/server environment from an UNIX one. The problem is:

I have to pass some data to an RPT program that I launch directly from SQLFORMS with a #HOST; normally, I write that data in a table, with the value of USERENV('TERMINAL') as the primary key: so, the first thing I did in the RPT was the reading from that table where the key is equal to USERENV('TERMINAL').

In a client/server environment, two clients launching the same RPT have the same USERENV('TERMINAL'), that is "con". This cause me big problems, because the data that I pass are logically variable.

Does anyone ever had a similar problem ? Anyone can help me ?

Thanx
