Back to the top

In some cases, you may be able to remove lines of comments or the comment blocks before running the .sqc file through Microsoft Embedded SQL for C Pre-Compiler. This workaround may work with some files; however, it has been shown that this workaround only resolves the problem with specific files, and may fail to eliminate the AV with others.
