Hi Matthew, The real problem is that there is no way to detect that we're trying to connect to a rep server, so DBD::Sybase still tries to use teh ct_option() calls, and to get the version of the server (via select @@version).
Obviously these errors aren't "real" errors - so I guess there are two possible solutions. 1 - on your end, check for error 2056 and if so ignore the content of errstr: $dbh = DBI->connect(....); if($dbh->err && $dbh->err != 2056) { print $dbh->errstr; } It's obviously not a clean solution, but it should work. 2 - we add a new connection attribute that tells DBD::Sybase to not call ct_option, and to not try to get the version. Maybe something like $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Sybase:server=MSTR_REP;serverType=OS;...', 'sa', '...', ...); where OS means OpenServer. This could then be useful when connecting to other types of openserver apps, not just RepServer. I'm of course open to other suggestions as well.

Well not really, I was able to fall back to using DBD::Sybase 1.00. On DBD::Sybase 1.07 and your test 1.07_02 (from March 6), I get an error connecting to a rep server. Here is a test piece of code: use DBD::Sybase; $ldbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:" .. "server=REPP" .. ";hostname=" . 'nycux-25k102' ,'REPP_maint' ,'*******' ,{RaiseError=>1}); print $ldbh->errstr(); my $dummy = 6; and results: Server message number=17001 severity=10 state=0 line=0 server=REPP text=No SRV_OPTION handler installed.OpenClient message: LAYER = (1) ORIGIN = (1) SEVERITY = (1) NUMBER = (183) Server REPP, database Message String: ct_options(): user api layer: external error: An error was returned from the server while setting the options, check the server message for details. Server message number=2056 severity=12 state=0 line=0 server=REPP text=Line 1, character 8: Incorrect syntax with 'select'. Any suggestions?
