The define NAMEDATALEN is only used when using the 6.2 protocol. This is a
per datasource option. It is not used when using the 6.3 protocol.
SM_USER, which is 32 bytes, is used for the 6.3 protocol.

Yeah, I hate those things. When I transfer the odbc source files to our
unix box, I use ftp in ascii mode, which filters that crap out. It works
either way on the Microsoft side so I'd say take em out.
By the way, just to clear things up, as long as people are on the subject
lately, I hate Microsoft just as much as the next guy! I'm a unix systems
programmer first. I dont really consider myself a windows programmer, even
though I work on the odbc driver. We just had to have the driver work well
for our customers and it forced me to work with the windows programming
model.
Sorry about the divergent theme here. I know you weren't asking about
Microsoft, but I wanted to get that out!
