Hi,
  where is SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC in your code?

Which DM are you using? Is possible that for some reason DM call some
additional function to do some checks. This could discovered enabling
FreeTDS dump.

Quire strange it works correctly on Linux but not on Solaris.
Does data contains no-ASCII characters?
How long are usually these TEXT fields?
Which TDS protocol version are you using?
There is a specific getdata test for this stuff and should work.

Regards,
  Frediano
