EnableDescribeParam (EDP)
Purpose
Determines whether the driver supports the SQLDescribeParam function, which allows an application to describe parameters in SQL statements and in stored procedure calls.
Valid Values

Behavior
If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver supports SQLDescribeParam. The Prepare Method option must be set to 0 or 1, and the SQL statement must not include long parameters. If using Microsoft Remote Data Objects (RDO) to access data, you must use this value.
If set to 0 (Disabled), the driver does not support SQLDescribeParam.
Default
0 (Disabled)
