Hi Chris.

Not sure whether it's relevant or not, but you should be passing
cobsqltype==oracle8 rather than cobsqltype==oracle if you're using Oracle 8
or later. In addition, as the Oracle-provided makefile links using the
threaded run-time, you should pass -t to cob when building your application.

When debugging the app, are the contents of the host variables used for your
CONNECT statement being populated correctly? Are those host variables
defined as CHAR or VARCHAR? If the latter, then you will need to ensure that
the length-element of the host variable is set correctly, else it's possible
that trailing spaces will be passed through to Oracle (though I would expect
a different error then).

Have you contacted Micro Focus SupportLine about this, either directly, or
via the COBOL Portal forum accessible from http://www.cobolportal.com ?
