Perhaps somebody can help me with a loader problem. I am trying to run with Oracle 7, but I get the message :idf /who FAILED TO LOAD LIBRARY ORACLEXL.PUB.UTOOLS. (LDRERR 467) EXEC level of the code exceeds the maximum privilege level allowed in the file. (LDRERR 404) Native mode loader message 404 IDF.EXE.PORT61DX ;INFO="/who" UNABLE TO LOAD PROGRAM TO BE RUN. (CIERR 625) at runtime. I suspect this has to do with privilege levels. All univ entries in the ORACLEXL (which I restored from the Oracle 7.0.15 tape) have XLEAST=3 and PRIVLEV=2. Our driver code, which calls the XL, has XLEAST=3 and PRIVLEV=3. Because the privlev of the calling code is 3, and the xleast of the oracle code is also 3, I think it should work. Or am I missing something ? What I don't understand is that the command idf /who which I gave does not even use the Oracle driver, so it should not try and load the XL. Why does it do that? I have defined the library in the search list at link time, but does this mean that it is always loaded? I do not have this problem with my own utility XL, which has the same xleast and priv levels as the oracle xl. My application code has 3 and 3 as usual, and I can load my xl allright from there. Any ideas ? Thanks. -- :) Chris Breemer [log in to unmask]
