Metadata - Db Connections - Sybase ASE & Generic ODBC connection issue

I'm trying to connect to our development Sybase database and I'm having trouble doing so.
I tried doing a Sybase ASE DB connection (pic 1), and got this error

Connection failure. You must change the Database Settings.
com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybSQLException: '""' is not a valid type name.


Then I tried setting up an ODBC connection through Windows, and that worked (pic 2-4).
But when I tried to connect to that ODBC connection using a Generic ODBC connection (pic 5), I got this error:

Connection failure. You must change the Database Settings.
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid descriptor index.

unable to connect to sybase server as Sybase ASE while i can connect to the same server by ODBC.
i think Character set is the cause of this problem , how can i define connection Character set
error Message
Connection failure. You must change the Database Settings.
JZ00L: Login failed. Examine the SQLWarnings chained to this exception for the reason(s).

This problem with sybase happens when you check the connection or when you try to retrieve the metadata.
In these cases you get the following message :
"Connection failure. You must change the Database Settings.
com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybSQLException: '""' is not a valid type name."
But this problem doesn't happen when you run a job, so in spite of the bug you can retrieve your data from a Sybase table.
