Short Description Any way to pass in the Database name to Screensurfer

Description
We define our DSN using "master" as the database name 
because we have mutiple databases on the server that we use 
for our application dynamically.  Do you have a way to pass 
to screensurfer the specific Database name that we want to 
use?

We can provide a session-level function to change the DSN 
specification in the TEDECLARE DBSOURCE...but at this point 
in looking at the ODBC functionality, we only have the text 
string that you put-in as the DBSource name as a 
parameter--can you check to see if you can create a DBSOURCE 
that qualifies the target database within your master DSN?

Alternatively, a DSN for each "sub database" can be created, 
and you can use the new function to switch from one to 
another at session start-up time.

If you are setting-up the DBSource as a session-level, then 
as long as you use the DSN change function prior to the 
first use of the database (at session connect/startup time), 
the DSN name isn't used until the first statement is 
executed.

That would be a workable solution.  I look forward to 
getting that update when it has been fully tested.
