Answer : dump database & load database

Do you mean the database currently has no data, or that you only want to transfer the
structure and not the data?  If the former, you can just dump the database and load the
dump on any other server.  You can also dump the database, truncate all the user tables, dump the
database again, and reload the first dump.  The second dump can then be transfered to
another server.

You can also extract scripts for the database objects (though this doesn't work well for stored
procedures that reference temp tables created outside the procedure - you would have to find
the original procedure scripts that contained the temp table create statements) using
a variety of options:  the ddlgen utility, SQL Central's reverse engineering features, dbschema.pl (see http://www.isug.com/Sybase_FAQ/ASE/section9.html),  Power Designer, etc.

Such generated scripts are usually just run executed with an ISQL session to create the objects.
