Problem IT39521 Status: Closed

ODBC WILL THROW "INVALID CONNECTION STRING ATTRIBUTE" IF PASSWORD CONTAINS
A SEMICOLON

product:
IBM CSDK / 5724C2381 / 450 - CSDK 4.50
Problem description:
If the password contains a semicolon, the Informix ODBC driver
will throw the following error:

Comment
I agree with doing nothing and simply asserting this as NFI.
That being said, I do think we need to document this limitation.
