>&#13; If you connect from Java over JDBC using Sybase's jConnect driver, you may want to use iSQL-Viewer as a GUI replacement for isql or jisql. Note that result sets from Sybase stored procedures are not visible in the current release version (2.1.5), download the core classes from CVS until the next version is released. The author has corrected the problem and the versions checked into CVS handle multiple result sets returned by a query. Available at <A
