Hi everyone, we have a big problem. We need a reading connection to an Adabas D 12.0 database located on a Linux server. We have been given the structure, and we have been given a procedure which would exactly produce the results we are looking for. However, when we call the procedure from a Ruby script on our Linux machine, the server with the DB obviously does _something_, but we don’t see any results. What can possibly go wrong there? Thanks for any ideas and help you can offer! ---
