We were given the same solution to a paging problem when using the SCL Copy()
function to copy catalog entries to a catalogs on Novell. Our error surfaces as
"Invalid page number xx" followed by a string of funny faces and gibberish.
Unfortunately their recommendation is not so easy to implement on a Novell
server supporting 1000 users that has been very stable for over 4-yr. We have
zero problems any other product that reads/writes to Novell.  So getting the
Admins to change the environment (including the client environment which they
maintain) just so we can "maybe" run SAS has a snow ball's chance. It is not
clear to me why SAS calls this a Novell problem (aren't they the ones claiming
multivendor architecture?).  To site obsolete, unsupported ccmail as another
product that also has a 'Novell' problem is another example of not 'getting
it'.
