SYMPTOMS
The strings returned by the function srv_symbol has \r\n attached to them. This is not mentioned in the Open Data Services documentation.



WORKAROUND
The following code fragment can be used to ensure that a null terminated string without \r\n is copied into the destination buffer: pszSymbol = srv_symbol(...,..,&symbol_len); if (*(pszSymbol+symbol_len-2) == '\r') *(pszSymbol+symbol_len-2) = '\0'; if (*(pszSymbol+symbol_len-1) == '\n') *(pszSymbol+symbol_len-1) = '\0';



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in OPENDSNT version 4.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
