246 error is "Property's syntax not supported"

Keywords: 	 246 error is "Property's syntax not supported"

Question:

Anyone know what to do when you get an error 246.

Here's the code...

UNITCOST = dsGetProperty(sUserPath1,"unitcost")
246 error is "Property's syntax not supported"

I'm retrieving fields from our corporate LDAP directory. Some calls work and retrieve info. Some like above don't...

Answer:

Don't try and access that property. The extender heuristically attempts to figure out the data type of a property. If it can't you get the message. The vast majority of useful properties can be accessed with the extender. If you wish to provide more specific information and have a good reason for doing so, we may be able to add support for addition data types in a new version of the extender.
