"Enroll Now" button does not display on catalog page for courses (SQLServer only).

Date: March 27, 2003

Version affected: v1.61

Symptoms:
Courses for which the Allow students to "self-enroll" in this course flag is set do not display the "Enroll Now" button in the course catalog if MS SQLServer is the database.

Cause:
SQLServer has a peculiarity that causes problems if the description field is not the final column selected in a SQL statement. Including opdataDescription in the call to the GetCourseInfo function in the catalog page causes the flags to be ignored.

Correction:
A new version of the course catalog page has been provided to work around the problem. A more permanent fix will be provided in a future release
