CONNECTION TO DB USING ROUNDTABLE

DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.

INTRODUCTION:
=============
When trying to connect to a database using Roundtable customer can see
one of the following messages:

Startup parameters cannot be longer than 128 characters. (1401)

Logical database name is too long. Must be less than <n> <nam>. (696)

The problem is caused by changes in CONNECT VALUE() statement in V8.1.


PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
To be able to connect to a database customer has to use quotes in his
connection parameters (Dbase folder of Roundtable Tabletop), eg:

-N TCP -H "host" -S serv01 -U usrnam -P pwd
or
-1 -U "" -P ""

If the customer is specifying a parameter file in the Connection
Parameters field, then the parameter file needs to be in quotes, Eg:

-pf "param.pf"
