Editing sql.ini with a word processing program (Windows only)

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.
