Teradata SQL Analyser display problem

[olded]

I'm new to Teradata, and I'm having a very strange problem with the Teradata SQL Analyzer. When my SQL DML executes, in the Answerset window instead of displaying the column names it displays alphabet letters.

For example, if I execute:

select col1, col2, col3, col4 from table_name

then in the Answerset pane, the result displays:

A B C D

instead of

col1 col2 col3 col4

And if my query contains 26 columns, then I get every A thru Z.

In the Answerset options I've tried both 'display column titles' and 'display column names'. Neither of them change it.

Thanks for any help.

To fix this problem, I had to unistall and reinstall all of the Teradata software, and I mean all of it. From the Window's Control Panel, I removed these objects:

OLE DB Provider for Teradata 1.5.0.0
ODBC Driver for Teradata 2.6.0.1
Teradata Administrator 7.2
Teradata GSS Client nt-i386 6.2
Teradata SQL Assistant 7.2

before reinstalling.

I have seen this happening when there's a comment on top of the select ... ie something like this ..

-- my comment
SELECT col1, col2
from mytable
;
