Hi Thom,

What kind of driver are you writing and in what programming language? Why cant you use ODBC directly?

The value is also squirreled away in something called the SQL Communications Area (SQLCA) "field" SQLERRD[3]. Its taken me about 7 hours of wading through NCR's documentation to be able to make that simple statement. I have yet to figure out how to access the information through either mechanism.
