How many times did you run it?
When I tried to execute:

IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT o.name, i.name FROM tempdb..sysobjects o,
tempdb..sysindexes i WHERE o.id = i.id AND o.name='abcattbl' AND
i.name='abcattbl_tnam_ownr') EXECUTE("CREATE INDEX abcattbl_tnam_ownr
ON abcattbl(abt_tnam ASC, abt_ownr ASC)")

when the index already been created, I got:

"Could not SQLExecute"

And I have Sybase 16.0 installed on Linux Gentoo.
Tried the query on isql from unixODBC w/freeTDS driver.

Thank you.
