On the application I'm working on, they are usng the function getfullstate() to convert a
datastore to a blob. From what I was told, it is not uncommon to use this function outside
of distributed powerbuilder, but I have never seen it before. Unfortunately, it doesn't always
work. Somtimes, the function call abends the application with no error message. I haven't
found a workaround for this function. We looked at one of the datastores it was abending
on and couldn't find anything unusual about it. Any hints would be very appreciated.
