Editing sql.ini with a word processing program

If you edit the sql.ini file with a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, extra non-printable characters can be added to the end of text in the sql.ini file. As a result, Sybase Open Server-based applications might not recognize server names as defined in the sql.ini file.

To modify the sql.ini file, use dsedit, which Sybase provides with your Open Client and Open Server installation.
