This article was previously published under Q153313





SYMPTOMS
The DESCRIBE statement may generate the following error when it tries to populate a SQLDA that is using a Prepared Statement containing a parameter marker (?).

Error Handler called:

SQL Code = -170

SQL Server Message 170: 'Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '?'.'

The same error may also occur if a PREPARE INTO :sqlda statement is used.



WORKAROUND
Rather than use DESCRIBE or PREPARE INTO, populate the SQLDA manually in the program.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Embedded SQL for C Programmer's Toolkit version 6.5.
