APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Title: ODBC Connector gives error "Invalid string or buffer
  length" while connecting to SQL Anywhere drivers
  
  Description:
  Cannot connect to SQL Anywhere database using ODBC Connector
  because of error "ODBC Function "SQLBindCol(2)" reported
  SQLSTATE = HY090: Native Error Code = 0: Msg = [Sybase][ODBC
  Driver]Invalid string or buffer length"
  In the ODBC trace file ODBC Connector is sending ODD buffer
  value to SQLBindCol.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When ODBC Connector connects to SQL Anywhere database following
  error message appears "ODBC Function "SQLBindCol(2)" reported
  SQLSTATE = HY090: Native Error Code = 0: Msg = [Sybase][ODBC
  Driver]Invalid string or buffer length".
  
  This happens because ODBC Connector sends ODD integer value for
  SQLBindCol buffer length parameter.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now sending only Even value for buffer length.
  

Temporary fix
