MSAccess ODBC to Mainframe / Datacom SQL Statistics causes Datacom to crash

Dear experts.
I am connecting via a ODBC connection to a IBM Mainframe Datacom server.
Now the problem is, that the Datacom server is not the most recent version. Updating unfortunately is not an option.
Although a fix: RO40776 exists
Apparently some MSAccess SQL Statistics command, when querying the MainFrame DB via ODBC crashes the Datacom server.
ANY Idea how I can disable those MSAccess SQL Statistic commands?
Many thanks for your help

Dear Scott,
no unfortunately not since I do not have access to this server and got the info from a colleague
What I did I double clicked on a linked table to view the data this lead to an odbc error (the error code was wrong, indicating I do not have access to the server, which was wrong since I can access the same server/same Db/same table via the same odbc without problems with winsql and do a select * from this table, which crashes the server when done from MSAccss)
probably the known DataCom Server fix RO40776  could help - did not have time to google it yet

May not be wrong, sincd WinSQL may be using a completely different driver.

If you create a NEW Access database, and create NEW links to the server, do you have the same issue?

Yes a new DB has the same issue. Created empty DB with just one link table to the Mainframe DATACom table - does not work.

Dear Scott,
CA has provided us a potential fix. Once applied (next week) we can re test

finally upgrading the server part on the main frame solved the issue
