using stored procedures from pro*cIt is meaningless. PL/SQL blocks handle their own cursors within a single cursor employed by PRO*C, so the contents of "sqlca.sqlerrd[2]" are likely leftover from a previous call? You may have gotten the value you wanted in one version, but I wouldn't count on that functionality surviving from version to version...

>From the "PRO*C Reference" for v9.2 (page c-12):

For the purposes of cursor management, an embedded PL/SQL block is treated just

like a SQL statement. When an embedded PL/SQL block is executed, a parent

cursor is associated with the entire block and a link is created between the cache

entry and the private SQL area in the PGA for the embedded PL/SQL block. Be

aware that each SQL statement inside the embedded block also requires a private

SQL area in the PGA. These SQL statements use child cursors that PL/SQL

manages itself. The disposition of the child cursors is determined through its

associated parent cursor. That is, the private SQL areas used by the child cursors are

freed after the private SQL area for its parent cursor is freed.

When calling a stored procedure (to do a select) from a pro*c program, does the sqlca.sqlerrd[2] row counter get set? Or does that
happen only if you are putting the selects into the Pro*C program?

It seems to act differently for different versions. It is working for Oracle 7.2, but does not appear to function that way on the 8.1.7.

Anbody have any insight.
