Vbscript -sybase connection : Password ends with a semicolon

[Former Member]

Hi I am using VBscript (QTP) facing an issue in making an connection to database (Sybase 15.0 ) since in the DbPassword has semicolon in the end .For e.g. Test123;

Below is the piece of code used where paramters are passed

set adoConn=Createobject("ADODB.Connection") adoConn.ConnectionTimeout =600 adoConn.Open ("DRIVER={Sybase ASE ODBC Driver};NA=" & sDBServerName & "," & sDBPortNo & " ;DB=" & sDBName & ";UID=" & sDBUserID & ";PWD=" & sDBPassword & " ;")

is there a way using which i can escape the ';' in vbscript please help!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additional Info : in VBscript ';' semicolon is taken as a literal if placed inside a "". ie sDBPassword = "Test;" will take ';' as a part of string , however connection sting is

("DRIVER={Sybase ASE ODBC Driver};NA=myNewServer,6400;DB=TestDb;UID=keshava;PWD=Test;;") this when passed as a connection string ignores the semicolon in the end and takes the password as Test

This forum is dedicated to SQL Anywhere, which is a different product from ASE.

For SQL Anywhere this question is moot since passwords cannot contain semicolons: http://dcx.sybase.com/index.html#1201/en/dbadmin/permissi-s-5614688.html
