SYMPTOMS
========

The ODBC Demo for AS/400 fails when used with MS Query version 8.0. An
application exception is generated in the application to which MS Query returns
information.

CAUSE
=====

Changes to MS Query version 8.0 render the script used with the ODBC Demo for
AS/400 invalid and cause the application exception.

WORKAROUND
==========

The application exception will not occur when you use a version of MS Query
earlier than version 8.0.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server versions 3.0 SP2, 3.0
SP3, and 4.0.
