Limitations

The server to which the Open Client and Open Server is connecting must support 2-byte Unicode datatypes.

If the server does not support 2-byte Unicode datatypes, the server returns an error message.

However, the client can convert other datatypes to or from CS_UNITEXT.

CS_UNITEXT does not provide C programming operations on UTF-16 encoded Unicode data such as Unicode character strings. For full support for Unicode character strings, you must use the Sybase product, Unilib. See the Unilib Reference Manual. The reference manual is part of the Sybase Unicode Developers Kit 2.0.
