Hi there..

According to mssql 7.0 and 8.0 documentation, their varchar supports up
to 4K bytes. I don't know about Sybase.

Here's the TDSDUMP log generated when I ran a php page that didn't do
anything but call the stored procedure. It starts at line 139
(dbrpcinit). This should go through as the log is little over 12kb. The
recieved packet is at line 182.
