Bhavbhuti,

A lot of folks, myself included, have created wrapper objects for doing SPT. Typically they will establish the connection, store the handle in a property and then have a method that mirrors the SQLExec() function which will use the handle:
* SQLExec method
...
lnRetVal = SQLExec( this.nHandle, pcSQL, pcCursor )
if ( lnRetVal < 0 )
   aerror( this.aSQLError )
   this.DealWithSPTError()
endif
In the Destory() method you can release the handle with a SQLDisconnect( this.nHandle ) call.

>Whenever I do a SQL Pass-Thru using SQLEXEC() I get the connection handle at the time just before the call to SQLEXEC() with a line as below:
>
	lnConnHnd = CURSORGETPROP("ConnectHandle")
>
>My question is this can I pre-store this handle in the application object goApp as a property? ie. are there any pitfalls if it is not GetProp()ed just before the SQLEXEC() call?
