pbsyc100.dll changes

The Adaptive Server Enterprise database interface (SYC) now supports Date and Time datatypes in Adaptive Server 12.5.1 servers. Performance has been optimized for users of Open Client 12.5.1, but users of older Open Client software can also access these new datatypes.

pbsyc100.dll now uses the Release DBParm exclusively to determine the capabilities of the Open Client software being used to communicate with Adaptive Server. You must set the Release DBParm to the version of your Open Client software, not to the version of Adaptive Server to which you connect. pbsyc100.dll automatically determines the version of each Adaptive Server you connect to after a successful connection has been established. Knowing the capabilities of both the client and server allows pbsyc100.dll to customize PowerBuilder's integration for each Adaptive Server database connection.

The default value of the Release DBParm has been changed from 10 to 11.
