Link fails on VMS Date column

[Joe Boyle]

I once saw an issue when rdb/vms was used as the database type in pdl, but
the customer had upgraded from PH 7 to PH 8 and the problem was resolved
when they used the rdb type ( it could have been oracle even ); the reason
being that they map to different libraries if I remember correctly.

Regards, Joe.

Subject: Link fails on VMS Date column

This issue is specific to OracleRdb on VMS.

I'm trying to link to a table using an index, but the link fails when a
matching record does exist.  In the example below, the link should succeed
for every record; each row should join to itself.  It also fails in Quick

R_DATE is Date VMS; it is the first column in an index.
I've dropped and re-created the index. 
Joining the table to itself using SQL works correctly.
Other tables with indexes on Date VMS columns link to themselves correctly
using quiz.

> access TABLE_1
> go

Records selected: 24623

> acc TABLE_1  link R_DATE  to R_DATE  of TABLE_1 alias a1
> go

Records selected: 8


Any ideas?
