SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to IBM AS/400 Version 5 Release 3, you may receive incorrect or incomplete data from the AS/400 when you use the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004.



CAUSE
The Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) code point parameter MAXBLKEXT specifies that the host should only respond with one Query Answer Set Data (QRYDTA) if the value of the MAXBLKEXT parameter is 0 on a client.

Note MAXBLKEXT is also referred to as Max Block Extra.

The problem occurs because the host is responding with two QRYDTA blocks. This response causes the data to be incorrect or incomplete.
