98 Clients not seeing all the data

I have Sql 2k SP3A. When my Windows 98 Clients connect through a
Powerbuilder 9.0 Application, there are some Windows were data is not
displayed. Windows XP and Windows 2K Operating Systems work fine. Using
TCP/IP on everything.
After rebooting a production server everything was fine. Tried rebooting
the Test Server and still having a problem.
Not sure exactly when this started but I have been using Windows 98 Clients
for 2 years on SQL 2K and the same for PowerBuilder 9.0.
Any ideas would be great.PB does not officially support any OS prior to Win2K. You are operating on
borrowed time. That said, it would help to know what the exact query is -
profiler can be used to trace the server side and PB can be used to trace
the client side. It may also be worthwhile to explore using a different
interface to connect (mss, odbc, oledb).

Is this PB support also considered for the runtime? I have been running
Windows 98 clients with PB 9.0 runtime for 8 months and can't believe it
just stopped. I will try what you suggested on debugging.

latest builds (9.01 and later) actually make calls that are not supported by
the unsupported OSes - perhaps related to the memory management changes in
9.01?
