>Ahhhh, but it does work with an alias -- not only on my machine, but on the NT machine as well. I'm not sure why this works, as you and others have indicated that it doesn't -- but there it is anyway.

Ah, well, I misunderstood what you said. But it's not really germaine to my suggestion that you try not using the table first, on the NT box. Just as a WAG, if you don't have any better ideas. OTOH, if switching to SYS(2015) worked for you, then I'm happy to just move on. <s>
