I had a similar error and realized R was just unable to read my user id correctly as it had a slash in it. I placed my credentials in a text file which solved the problem for me.

cred <- "/myPath/ODBC_cred.txt"

sql <- RODBC::odbcConnect("abc.xyz.com", uid=readLines(cred)[1], pwd=readLines(cred)[2])
