Thanks for your answer John but I have even try the sample code
from the help file and It keeps giving me the same error.
Is there a enviroment var that I forgot to set??

And Is this the way to set up a nested 5 levels max Beg trans -- End trans

BEG TRANS
some code 1
BEG TRANS
some code 2
.

.
END TRANS 2
END TRANS 1

or You don't think so
