Dear Perl geniuses,

Need a sanity check please. The following sql "select DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 2, GETDATE()), '20:00:00') as ADATE" runs correctly in Microsoft SQL query analyzer..

However in perl on a Win7 64bit environment, it complains with the following error "Description: MicrosoftODBC SQL Server Driver Cursor type changed".

My code can runs select and update statements against tables with no issues so I am a bit stumbled about the cursor error.

Note that I have not included my connection string but have illustrated that I am using Win32::OLE. 

use Win32::OLE;
$conn->{ConnectionString} = "...";
$conn->open; # open connection to the DB 
$state = $conn ->state; #1 means connected   
if($state  ne "1"){...

$mssql_select = "select  DATEADD(day, DATEDIFF(day, 2, GETDATE()), '20
+:00:00') as ADATE";
$rs->Open( $mssql_select, $conn);  
my $error_collection = $conn->Errors();
my $ecount = $error_collection->Count;
my ($is_message, $real_error_found);
foreach my $error (in $error_collection)
{       
    #output error statements
    $is_message = ($error->{SQLState} eq "01000" && $error->{NativeErr
+or}==0);
    $real_error_found=1 unless $is_message;
    $status =  "ERROR # " . $error->{Number}
    . "\n Description: " . $error->{Description}
    . "\nSource: " . $error->{Source} . "\n";
}

Results in "Description: Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver Cursor type changed". Any ideas the group can provide would be appreciated.

Thank You,
