ct-lib relies on server-side support to determine the SQL datatype of the
placeholder variable.  Sybase provides such support, Microsoft does not. 
Thus ct-lib placeholders don't work with Microsoft servers and TDS 7.0+.

Well, "supported" has a very limited meaning in an open source project.  

I'm sorry you were misled .  There's no way api_status.txt can express the
status accurately in its current form.  I'll add a note to BUGS.
