The another problem is this. (only tested on 0.64)

Freebcp and the blk function cannot insert space into a numeric column. 
The "insert" statement on tsql can insert space into a numeric column as 0. 

Sybase bcp and the blk function can insert space into a numeric column as 0. 
The "insert" statement on Sybase isql cannot insert space into a numeric column. 

Why have the behavior of Sybase and FreeTds reversed?

thanks,
