Has anyone ever received the following message from Oracle at runtime when using Pro*C :

        error is: ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype or representation

This is happening when I do the following :

        exec sql open C0 using descriptor bindda;

We moved from Oracle version 6 to 7 and we have a number of Pro*C applications. We recompiled them using the proc option DBMS=v6. The migration manual says this shouldn't change the behaviour of the original progarms.

Could this problem have something to do with the changes in codes for the external datatypes? i.e., the change from 1 to 96 for CHAR, and VARCHAR2 using code 1.

Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
