Hi,

I have noticed this strange error with two different database: 8i and 9i.

We have a cgi that worked well under 8i but not under 9i.

The problem was here :

If MyString = '' Then

Return xxx
End If ;

It never went in. I tried the following :

If 'string' = 'string' Then

never come here End If ;

If 1 = 1 Then

never come here either End If ;

I don't understand why. Is this a bug?
There was a 8i database previously that behaved in this manner but after a time it solved the problem by itself.

Thank you

Zsolt Csillag,
Hungary
