I am still having problems. Now it looks like

select tick FUT:DTB:GBL:EUR:20090908 1;
Process rule: InAction (ConA)
Process rule: Compound (FUT)
Syntax error:
Grammar rule: Compound FUT     
Cursor state: match; text is:
select tick FUT:DTB:GBL:EUR:20090908 1;
------------------------------------^--
Process rule: MetaData (Expr)
Process rule: Compound (MdiC)
Syntax error:
Grammar rule: Compound MdiC    
Cursor state: match; text is:
select tick FUT:DTB:GBL:EUR:20090908 1;
------------------------------------^--
Process rule: Compound (tick)
Syntax error:
Grammar rule: Compound tick    
Cursor state: match; text is:
select tick FUT:DTB:GBL:EUR:20090908 1;
------------------------------------^--
Drop:  1;

Del;


The same with 


select tick ibc:56441308 at DTB 1;
12668|74118| 106269064|4|11| 0|# select tick ibc:56441308 at DTB 1;|
12668|74118| 106269291|1| 9| 0|select tick ibc:56441308 at DTB 1;|
12668|74118| 106269443|2| 1| 5|1|5|2|GBL|FUT||0.0000||1|DTB||EUR||||||
12668|74118| 106277590|3| 4| 2|    2| 321|Error validating
request:-'zb' : cause - Please enter a local symbol or an expiry|



Validating the contract in the database yields

 echo "select * from Future where ibc = 56441308;" | mysql -u code
testing  
uid	tid	eid	ibc	lsym	netexp	expiry	src
3642	5	322	56441308	FGBL SEP 09	20090908	NULL	6434


The NULL value for the expiry field seems to be wrong. Fixing it
manually 

echo "update Future set expiry = '20090908' where ibc = 56441308;" |
mysql -u code testing 

doesn't change the error message above. 
Any idea what's going wrong here? 

Thanks

Nils
