hi all~ here's a strange one.... first (repeat after me) this is on a classic. we've installed the cognos 'wedge' (converts 02/29/2000 into a valid date for old cognos code) on this computer. the 'wedge' consists of two pieces -- an sl that sits in the cognos account (we put it in the pub group) and an entry into (gasp) sl.pub.sys. both pieces are present and (as far as i can tell) correctly installed. this is what i get... FILE QSCHEMAC=CRCQSCH.SCHEMA FILE QKGO=CRCQK505.OBJ run quick.pub.cognos;lib=p PROGRAM LOADED WITH LIB = S (LOAD WARN 89) what's the matter? we've got several hundred other classics doing the exact same thing with no problem. very strange, very strange.... - d -- Donna Garverick Sr. System Programmer 925-210-6631 [log in to unmask] >>>MY opinions, not Longs Drug Stores'<<<
