Importing data from Sybase IQ using Sqoop: Syntax error near 'Committed' on line 1 - sqoop

Question

I am trying to import a table from Sybase IQ to a Hive table using the following sqoop command:
sqoop import \
--verbose \
--connect jdbc:sybase:Tds:server:port#?ServiceName=dbName \
--username username \
-P \
--driver com.sybase.jdbc4.jdbc.SybDriver \
--table myName.someTable \
--target-dir file:////tmp/HELLO/tej01
From this I get the following error thrown: Syntax error near 'Committed' on line 1
I've also tried escaping the "." in the table name using the section below but I get the same error:
--table myName\".\"someTable \
Can someone please give me some direction as to how I can resolve this?

This seems to be a known bug (SAP KBA 2707539).
SAP Targeted CR
I was getting this error message with jconnect16.jar. However the error does not occur with jconn4.jar. Using version 4 fixed the issue for me.
