 * }

SYMPTOMS
A client bulk copy program (BCP) application may hang on a call to bcp_sendrow.

CAUSE
The DB-Library bcp_sendrow function does not time-out after the period of time specified by dbsettime has expired. If the client application does not receive a response from the server, it will wait indefinitely.

WORKAROUND
This situation is usually related to an underlying network connectivity problem. Address any reliability issues with the network in order to minimize the likelihood of the problem reoccurring.
