We have a user running ProIV v5.5 r345 on Solaris, connecting to Oracle 10g, with gui 5.5 r519 on XP service pack 2. Totally at random, the screen can freeze, then unfreezes when, for example, the user goes into Task Manager to kill the session but cancels the kill option.

Two questions.

Has anybody experienced anything similar to this?

Does anybody know a later gui 5.5 release that is stable? We know 523 and 524 have memory leaks, but we haven't tried any later versions. Upgrading to ProIV v6 is not an option at the moment.

Any and all help gratefully received.

Marlon,

If you don't use DDE, you could consider using the 6.1 client, which connects to a 5.5 kernel

Wim,

is there a problem using DDE under these conditions (6.1 client to 5.5 client)?

[Wim Soutendijk]

Peter,

Yes, a DDE_POKE statement only transmits the first character of a string, the rest is truncated.
This happens on the 6.1 client to either 5.5 and 6.1 kernels
