Sprintf returns format parameters instead of converted data

1
When using the sprintf function the converted results buffer contains a mixture of the correct converted results and the provided format parameters.

Example:
temp=123;
status=5;

bytecount=sprintf(buffer, "S,%d,%u,E",temp,status);

buffer should contain S,123,5,E
but
buffer contains S,%d,%u,E

Does anyone know why?
