Programming Issues
CR# Description

Upgrading to a new version

Workaround:

For statically and dynamically linked SAP Open Client applications (dblib, ctlib, and esql)(dblib and ctlib), SAP recommends the following:
  • Rebuild all statically linked SAP Open Client applications (dblib, ctlib, and esql) (dblib and ctlib) using the new version of software. Recompile and relink the applications using the new header files and libraries.

  • For dynamically linked SAP Open Client applications, recompile and relink with the SDK libraries that now include “syb” in the library names.

Note: If you have made any changes to the application files, you must recompile.

Ensure that the runtime libraries are for the same major release as the version used to build the application.
