Hi Dave,
I am using 16.0 PL03 ASE now and still working. I will need to look into installing the developer's edition.
If you could do this it would be great - add protocolcapture=c:\temp\file.tds to your ASE conn string for the bulk load string and run test - then email it to me, paul.vero@sap.com.
Cheers,
-Paul
