The untyped variable ? is allowed only in ...

That's a problem of missing type information and does not make select ? completely illegal in all SQL implementations, not even in Sybase ASE.

Try adding type information like I did for PostgreSQL. Actually, just copy my PostgreSQL example and change the connect line to connect to Sybase. I would expect that to work in Sybase ASE.

Should that fail, try to cast the (untyped) placeholder to a type. According to my first google result, SELECT CAST(? AS NUMERIC) ANSWER should do the trick.

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.
