Hello

I'm new to FreeTDS, and I have some problems/questions.
I use Sybase ASA 9.

First, my aim is to be able to describe the input parameters of stored 
procedures. As I looked it up in the sybase open client reference, the 
only way to describe input parameters is the usage of ct_dynamic with 
CS_DESCRIBE_INPUT command. Am I right?

I think it is not well documented, and the only samples I've found in 
this subject is the ct_dynamic.c in freetds, and it's the equivalent in 
OpenClient. But these do not use any stored procedures.
Is CS_DESCRIBE_INPUT capable of retriving the input params of a stored proc?



My secound question is that I've downloaded the source from CVS, and 
I've run the make check, and some tests failed.
dblib 9 of 34 tests failed,
tds 4 of 17 tests failed,
during ctlib test, cancel.c prints  - SIGALRM  endlessly somewhere after 
line 109.

Are these normal? Accoring to the nightly test page all should pass.


Thank you for your help!
