Yes, your application must initialize the format passed in to ct_bind().  If
you are binding to a datatype other than binary or character datatypes, you
should initialize the format to "CS_FMT_UNUSED."

Subject: [freetds] format attribut never initialised in CS_DATAFMT.


I have a problem with 'format' attribut of CS_DATAFMT. It has sometimes
strange value...

I kickly check the source code of freetds 0.6, and I was unable to find a
locatation where this attribut is set. The only line I found is in ct.c in
_ct_bind_data:
         destfmt.format    = curcol->column_bindfmt;

The problem is that curcool->column_bindfmt is set in ct_bind() using:
colinfo->column_bindfmt = datafmt->format;

And in this case, datafmt->format has never been initialised. 
A quick hack is to set 'format' to 0 when I create a variable of CS_DATAFMT
type.
