DOCUMENT:Q196946 19-JUL-2001 [sna] TITLE :SNAOLEDB Fails with "Data conversion (DCONV.DLL) not found" PRODUCT :Microsoft SNA Server PROD/VER:WINDOWS:1.0,4.0,4.0 SP1 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft SNA Server, versions 4.0, 4.0 SP1 - Microsoft OLE DB Provider for AS/400 and VSAM, version 1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Attempts to initialize the SNA Server OLE DB Provider for AS/400 or VSAM (SNAOLEDB) may fail with the following error message: Data conversion (DCONV.DLL) not found This error may occur even though the Dconv.dll is present in the \System directory. CAUSE ===== The SNA Server Dconv.dll is dependent upon the SNA Server version of Trnsdt.dll which SNA Server installs into the \System directory. If IBM Client Access is also installed on the computer, it installs its own version of Trnsdt.dll which conflicts with the SNA Server version, causing Dconv.dll to fail to initialize. This problem may occur with any version of the SNAOLEDB driver. RESOLUTION ========== To solve the problem, rename the version of Trnsdt.dll located in the IBM Client Access directory, if it is installed on the computer. Only the SNA Server version of Trnsdt.dll should be present on the computer. NOTE: Renaming the IBM version of Trnsdt.dll may cause IBM Client Access applications to fail. If there are no duplicate versions of Trnsdt.dll present on the computer, ensure that there are no conflicting versions of these other dependent DLLs, and that these are available in the system path: Shipped with SNA Server: Snanls.dll Trnsdt.dll These are shipped by Windows NT: Advapi32.dll Gdi32.dll Kernel32.dll Ntdll.dll Rpcrt4.dll User32.dll This one is shipped by Windows NT and SNA Server, and may be redistributed by other applications too: Msvcrt.dll Additional query words: ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbAudDeveloper kbOLEDBSearch kbSNAServSearch kbOLEDBProvAS400VSAM100 kbSNAServ400 kbSNAServ400SP1 kbOLEDBProvSearch Version : WINDOWS:1.0,4.0,4.0 SP1 Issue type : kbprb ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
