BUG: Access Violation in Snaoledb.dll File

ID: Q183577

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft OLE DB Provider for AS/400 and VSAM, version 1.0 included with Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to access certain files on an AS/400, an Access Violation dialog box appears.

This problem occurs when a Host Column Description (HCD) -- or column binding -- is set to convert a Host Char field to a DBTYPE_I2. The function pointer for this type of conversion was never initialized but was called nonetheless, causing an access violation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for AS/400 and VSAM version 1.0, included with Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0.

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
