Thanks. Unfortunately, I need to get the output parameter first, so I changed 
the sproc to return the value as a resultset, instead of an output parameter.

This brings me to the original problem. I am getting garbage values out of 
call to getBigInteger.

Is there any way to enable Freetds logging for applications that dont go 
through the odbc driver manager?

I put a freetds.conf in my home directory, with loglevel set to 0xffff but no 
logfile gets created.

I worked with a colleague to see if we are running into compatibility issues. 
My colleague who is on Linux Ubuntu 11.04, wrote a small program to call a 
sproc that returns bigint in resultsets. It worked fine on his machine. 
However, the same binary fails on my machine where the OS is linux ubuntu 
11.10. The only difference is that I have a newer version of libc. I have 
libc-2.13, whereas he has an older one.

feroze.

Parameters are one of the last things returned by a store procedure so
you have to read all recordsets in order to get to parameters.
