Jeff,

I'm not aware of any problems with Tutorial3, but in Tutorial1 you have to
change a procedure in the script component to

CREATE PROCEDURE SP_GEN_DUMMY_ITEM(P_CATEGORY_ID INTEGER, P_DESCRIPTION
VARCHAR(50), P_BAR_PREFIX VARCHAR(5), P_COUNT INTEGER) AS
DECLARE VARIABLE i INTEGER;
BEGIN
i = 1;
WHILE ( i <= :P_COUNT ) DO BEGIN
INSERT INTO ITEM(ID_CATEGORY, DESCRIPTION, BARCODE,
COST_PRICE,
CURR_VALUE)
VALUES( :P_CATEGORY_ID,
( :P_DESCRIPTION || ' ' || :i ),
( :P_BAR_PREFIX || cast(( :P_CATEGORY_ID * (
100000 + :i ) +
:i *
10000 + :i * 10 + :P_CATEGORY_ID ) as Integer) ),
( :i * 121 + :P_CATEGORY_ID * 10 + :i ),
( :i * 59 ) );
i = i + 1;
END /* WHILE */
END !!

The change is in the cast as Integer bit (otherwise IB6 adds .0000000000).
Make this change and see if it will work for you then.
