Just a couple of SWAGs:
- what if you leave out the UID parameter altogether? If you leave it in, you might have to use something to show its value of "", maybe another CHR(0)
- I haven't used that call, are you sure CHR(0) is the delimiter? - it looks unusual to me.
- do you see any difference if you expand the variables into literals for your connection string variable assignment?
