Subject: finding out no. of records returned
Date: Apr 12 1999 8:13PM

Hello,

previously i used perl to interact with a Sybase ASA v6.0 server through
ODBC, i could print the number of records returned by a SELECT statement
using the line

print $sth->rows;

i have now switched to ASE 11.0.3.3 for linux and am using DBD-Sybase and
DBI, however the above line now always returns -1. Does this line not
function with the DBI and DBD-Sybase, and if so is there a simple
equivalent?

thank you

adam
