Hello,
We are still stuck with the interface to a database.
The 2 major problems are :
accessing fields of the packed structures .( it gives the below-described
errors) and packing sets.
Is there no plan for their implementation ?
Doesnot all the databases pack the passed structures?
Thanks and Regards,
Anuradha
