[Bug #241487] jConnect 4.5/5.5 does not properly convert unichar and univarchar data across platforms. When selecting data from a server on a platform that uses a different byte order than the client, such as a Windows client selecting data from a Sun server, jConnect does not properly convert the String data.
Workaround: Go to the the Sybase download area to download the latest EBF of jConnect 4.5/5.5. This bug has been fixed in the EBF.
