Thanks for feedback.
We tried to downgrade to 7.0, but same result...
The project is run by a governmental specialist directorate in Norway, and
I'm just trying to help out with the C code issues in my spare time :-)
I've instructed the programmer, to try the unit tests.
Sorry we didn't try them first.
What I don't understand is that the text pointer is null.
This code should test for null values:
If (txtptr = dbtxptr(pqq->DbProc, 1)) == NULL) return;
And I dblib.c:
CHECK_NULP(textptr, "dbwritetext", 3, FAIL);
So I suspect this code I dblib.c:
dbconvert(dbproc, SYBBINARY, (BYTE *) textptr, textptrlen, SYBCHAR, (BYTE *)
textptr_string, -1);
My textpointer is:
DBBINARY txtPointer[DBTXPLEN]
I'll report again when the unit tests have been run.

Try also to downgrade to 7.0 protocol.
MS decided to not return textptr with data even they still support TEXTPTR
function on T-SQL, or better, they decide to always return an invalid
textptr! I don't remember if was with 7.1 or 7.2... I don't really understand
why...
