Hi,

I am new to freetds. I just downloaded stable version (0.64) yesterday and
have a simple ODBC app that I am trying to get working on linux
(connecting to SQL Server on a windows box). I have a stored proc that
takes a varchar (basically a string of up to 10 chars). However when I
execute it no character data gets sent across the wire. If I change the
proc to take an INTEGER then it works (and I see the parm value in the TDS
stream).

Below is the statement and dump from tds log. You can see for some reason
the colsize is 0 when I sned a varchar string, but 4 when I send an
integer. Here is the ODBC code and tds log snapshot for each case. If I am
doing something wrong or this is a known problem let me know, otherwise I
will look into the odbc / tds code to figure out what might be going
wrong.

This is the failing code (with the varchar param)

    ret = SQLBindParameter( m_hStmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
SQL_VARCHAR, 0, 0, (void*)"8005551212", 10, NULL );
    ret = SQLExecDirect(m_hStmt, (SQLCHAR*)"{CALL get_some_data(?)}",
SQL_NTS);

This is the passing code with INTEGER parameter

    int id = 3;
    ret = SQLBindParameter( m_hStmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_LONG,
SQL_INTEGER, 0, 0, &id, 4, NULL );
    ret = SQLExecDirect(m_hStmt, (SQLCHAR*)"{CALL get_some_data(?)}",
SQL_NTS);
