DBlib doesn't support wide varchar columns. This is because the underlying DB-Library API has not been updated to handle wide varchars.

The solution is to move to Sybase::CTlib or DBI/DBD::Sybase, and make sure that you have OpenClient 12.5 or later installed (and available at build time).

I'll add that Sybase has been saying for the last 10 years or so that DBlib would not be updated to handle new features at the protocol level. Hence you should not be using DBlibrary.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
