Open Client 15.7 and Open Server 15.7 Features

Open Client 15.7 and Open Server 15.7 have been enhanced to support bulk-copy-in with LOB datatype, the new SYBOCS_IFILE environment variable, LDAP and SSL version, parameter format suppression, extended plus encrypted password, and BCP --quoted-fname option.

Bulk-copy-in with LOB Datatype
With ESD #6 you can use blk_textxfer() followed by blk_rowxfer() API call.
New SYBOCS_IFILE Environment Variable
Use SYBOCS_IFILE to specify the location of the interfaces file instead of the default $SYBASE/interfaces.
LDAP and SSL Version Support
The Sybase-provided OpenLDAP library (libsybaseldap.so/dll) uses OpenLDAP version 2.4.31 and OpenSSL version 1.0.1b for the connections to an LDAP server.
Parameter Format Suppression
Open Client and Open Server now support parameter format suppression for dynamic statements in Adaptive Server Enterprise.
Open Server Support for Extended Plus Encrypted Password
When a client connection supports extended plus encrypted password (EPEP), Open Server handles the login negotiation, including decrypting of the password.
BCP --quoted-fname Option
The current syntax of the command line parameter for BCP is “--quoted-fname”.
