Friendship Tutorial: Runtime Error 1738 Using Playback (183547)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS 1.0, when used with:
This article was previously published under Q183547 SYMPTOMS
When you run the Friendship Demo while using a Diagnostic Playback Remote
Environment (RE) and the recording file included with COMTI, the following
runtime error message may appear:
(1738) The Method and/or parameters of the request could not be matched
in the current recording file.
You will see this error message if your Control Panel settings for Date and
Currency formats are not the US Default (Currency Decimal Separator ".",
and Date Format M/d/yy, with Date Separator "/").
CAUSE
Friendship Demo Visual Basic and ASP code use hard-coded date and currency
formats, which are converted to actual Dates and Currencies based on the
Regional Settings in Control Panel for Date and Currency. For example, if
your Decimal Separator is set to "," then the 150.00 amount will actually
be sent to COMTI as 15000. This is not what the recording file is
expecting.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you can manually edit the dollar amount and
date fields when you run the Friendship Demo to match those of your
Regional Settings via Control Panel. For example, using the Web client, if
you use DD/MM/YY for a date format, change Service Date from 6/1/89 to
1/6/89 and Date of Birth from 2/22/48 to 22/2/48.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft COM Transaction
Integrator for CICS and IMS version 1.0 included with SNA Server version
4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
