    ISC error code 335544973 is isc_bad_epb_form ("Unrecognized events block"). 
Its facility code is 0 (JRD). Text messages for all errors of facility 0 are included into
firebird.dll and used if firebird.msg is not found.

    This error code (isc_bad_epb_form) was intorduced in FB 2.5 and it means you are
used older fbclient.dll with your application when obtained this error from Firebrid server.
Also it means that firebird.msg corresponding to your old client library also have no
text for this error and even if it would be found (as you wish here) it give you nothing in 
this case.

PS "can't format message 13:1 ... "you got when you are try to get SQL code.
This is generic "Firebird error" message which you can append to any "unknown" error ;)
