Debugging an Open Server Application (sybase)

[David Moore]

To OS/2 folks - the first part of this may be noise to you, but if you are
familiar with IBM's C/C++ debugger, please read on!

I have an Open Server program running on OS/2. I am currently using named
pipes as my networking setup, and am using isql to send language commands to
it. When I run it from an OS/2 command prompt (with DSLISTEN variable set
to my application name), everything works fine.

When I try to use IBM's C/C++ debugger however, I crash in my call to srv_run,
before my Start handler is called. the following message is displayed:

FATAL SERVER ERROR: 16420/20/0: Net-Library routine net_address_get() failed
in srv__start_net
Network error: status = 12- specified server name attribute could not be found.

OS/2 folks: tune back in! When I try to single step through the assembly
code after the srv_run call, I get the following error code from the debugger:

ERROR code: S13.4-206. Please contact your IBM representative.

So, has anyone successfully debugged an Open Server application in OS/2, or
seen
the above error code when running the debugger on anything?

Thanks very much,
Dave Moore
