Hi Derek,
IIRC, this has something to do with Transaction Sequence Number (TSN)
exhaustion. But it's been many years since I had to work w/ Rdb. I
/think/ to recover (if this really is the problem) you have to do a full
restore with some magic switch that resets the TSN.
I'd start w/ RMU to dump the database header and see what's the next TSN
value. If that's really the issue, you might be able to restore your db
to a test site and run your app against it to see if that resolves the
error.
I'm sure you know that 6.1 is very old. Oracle will only provide best
effort support anyway.
Finally, have you posted this to comp.databases.rdb?
hth,
jec
