SNAOLEDB fails with "Data conversion (DCONV.DLL) not found" error message (196946)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP1
- Microsoft OLE DB Provider for AS/400 and VSAM 1.0
This article was previously published under Q196946 SYMPTOMS
Attempts to initialize the SNA Server OLE DB Provider for AS/400 or VSAM
(SNAOLEDB) may fail with the following error message:
Data conversion (DCONV.DLL) not found
This error may occur even though the Dconv.dll is present in the
<snaroot>\System directory.
CAUSE
The SNA Server Dconv.dll is dependent upon the SNA Server version of
Trnsdt.dll which SNA Server installs into the <sna>\System directory. If
IBM Client Access is also installed on the computer, it installs its own
version of Trnsdt.dll which conflicts with the SNA Server version, causing
Dconv.dll to fail to initialize.
This problem may occur with any version of the SNAOLEDB driver.
RESOLUTION
To solve the problem, rename the version of Trnsdt.dll located in the IBM
Client Access directory, if it is installed on the computer. Only the SNA
Server version of Trnsdt.dll should be present on the computer.
NOTE: Renaming the IBM version of Trnsdt.dll may cause IBM Client Access
applications to fail.
If there are no duplicate versions of Trnsdt.dll present on the computer,
ensure that there are no conflicting versions of these other dependent
DLLs, and that these are available in the system path:
Shipped with SNA Server:
These are shipped by Windows NT:
Advapi32.dll
Gdi32.dll
Kernel32.dll
Ntdll.dll
Rpcrt4.dll
User32.dll
This one is shipped by Windows NT and SNA Server, and may be redistributed
by other applications too:
