Sorry, no I mean that I'm prompting from the 3rd party client.
(i.e. in MSAccess, the selection criteria is [Please enter the fiscal
year] ...or something to that effect...  which would bring up the dialog
box for the person running the query. 

In that example, if I enter 2004 in the dialog box, I get the error. If
I enter 2004 into the selection criteria itself, the query works.

Do you mean you're trying to do an <<inline>> prompt through an ODBC
connection? You're a brave soul.
 
I would prompt for imput in the 3rd party client and pass the full
string through...

        I know this issue has been reported to IBM (don't know what IBM
calls
        it, but the 'bug' # is 144655). I'm trying to figure out if
anyone has a
        workaround (or if this has been fixed at a later version).
        
        When I prompt for selection criteria from a 3rd party client
(i.e.
        Access), the unidata odbc driver returns an error message - ODBC
- Call
        Failed.
        
        If I hard code the answer to the selection criteria, instead of
        prompting for it, the query runs correctly.
        
        We're on version 5.2.8.
        
        Suggestions?
