The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message appears when you try to access a table on the AS/400
using the StarSQL ODBC driver that ships with SNA Server:

  "[Starquest] [StarSQL ODBC Driver] [DB2/400] object QSYS2.SYSKEYS type *table
  not found [#-204]"

CAUSE
=====

To connect to an AS/400 V3R1 system using the STARSQL32 ODBC driver, a package
called BASE SUPPORT must be loaded on the AS/400. BASE SUPPORT provides several
tables in the QSYS2 collection, including SYSKEYS, SYSCOLUMNS, SYSINDEXES, and
so on, which are required for use with the STARSQL32 ODBC driver.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve the problem, do the following:

1. To check for BASE SUPPORT on the AS/400, log on as QSECOFR.

2. From a command line, type

  GO LICPGM

  Then press ENTER.

3. Select option 10 to view license programs. Look for BASE SUPPORT.

4. Load BASE SUPPORT on the AS/400 from the OS media. Adding BASE SUPPORT
  requires an initial program load (IPL) of the AS/400.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This problem can arise on older AS/400s when they are upgraded from previous
releases of OS/400 to V3R1. When upgrading, only the components that were
installed with the previous version will be upgraded to V3R1. BASE SUPPORT was
not required on previous versions of OS/400 to work with the StarSQL ODBC
driver.
