Hi,

This is the first time I'm writing a function using the interbase api
data structures directly and have some trouble putting the xsqlda
together correctly for the Integer datatype.

The following error occurs not everytime I use the function but
sometimes it pops up without a reason I can reproduce at the moment.

SQL Error -303

I cannot find this number in my interbase documentation.

ISC ERROR CODE:335544569 - dynamic sql error

ISC ERROR CODE:335544436 - sql error code <long>

can anyone give me a hint what I do wrong ?

thanks in advance
maik



The error is reported as:
