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.

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