Aha!  So I'm not the only one having this problem?  I figured because I didn't
see any complaints about it in the mailing list that the problem must lie in 
the
ODBC code.  I too, am using ASE 11.9.2, under Linux glibc2.  And the logic
seemed to be all SOL for the tokens when I'm attempting to bind the columns.

If you would like, I can send you what I've determined about the packet 
formats
for ASE 11.9.2.
