BUG #: 16506 (Windows: 6.5)
SYMPTOMS
When you make a remote procedure call (RPC) to a SQL Server that does not exist or is not started, you receive the following error message:
The process terminates the remainder of the batch, but only returns a severity of 9. DB-Library considers severity levels 0 to 10 as informational, and does not cause functions like dbsqlexec, dbrpcexec, and dbsqlok to return FAIL, but rather SUCCEED.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, trap for errors 18481 through 18485 in your SQL Server message handler, and handle them appropriately.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
