U2 Universe database ODBC connection

I've been trying to get a ODBC connection with our Universe Database. im using the below driver and version.

As long as the data I request is decimal value I'm able to get data

But as soon as i add a text field I get:

"ODBC: ERROR [S1C00] [Rocket U2][U2ODBC][2301827]Driver not capable."

If i request the data with Python trough same DSN i can see the server does give back the data.

 

I've been reading below article but didn't seem to find the anwser whats going wrong.

Going through the trace logs:

What I see is this:

"InfoType":"SQL_MAX_IDENTIFIER_LEN","NonFatalError":"ERROR [S1C00] [Rocket U2][U2ODBC][0400868]Driver not capable.. An error occurred but no ODBC error information was available"

 

Any one any ideas?

Not familar with U2 ODBC driver, but with my search, 6.1 is a pretty old version, you can try with the latest 7.2 version.
