Configuring ODBC on NT 4.0

I am trying to run a query to a progress database using ODBC. I am running Windows NT 4.0 I installed the Progress Software. I had this working last year, but I recently reinstalled my Operating system and when I reinstalled Progress and followed the setup as last time it is not working fully. I am able to Start the ProControl. The Proservice is Active and My Database is Active as well. The problem I am having is when I try to start the OIB Broker in order for the Progress Database to talk to the ODBC Driver nothing happens. I go to a DOS Prompt and type the following:
c:\DLC\bin\oibrkr32.exe -SV -S rems2 -H <COMPUTER NAME> -N TCP
I just get a c:\ Prompt
I am supposed to receive 4 lines telling me that the broker has started, etc...

Any suggestions
 
Hi,

What I can see here is the hostname is missing (after -H). In addition you can check the following environment variables which must be set:
PROCFG
PROMSGS
PROSTARTUP
DLC

Correction

Sorry, I had a typo. I did in fact add the hostname (My Computer Name) prior to my previous post. Also I checked the Environment and I have the following as outlined in the configuration memo I received from Progress:

IDLC = C:\DLC
IPROMSGS = c:\DLC\promsgs
PROOIBRK = c:\DLC\BIN\OIBRKR32.EXE
PROIDRV = c:\DLC\BIN\OIDRVR32.EXE

I am not sure what are.
PROCFG
PROSTARTUP

Also in the past I set up as now and it used to work.
 
Hi,

The mentioned variables are set to:
DLC={dlc-path}
PROMSGS=%DLC%\PROMSGS
PROCFG=%DLC%\PROGRESS.CFG
PROOIBRK=%DLC%\BIN\OIBRKR32.EXE
PROOIDRV=%DLC%\BIN\OIDRVR32.EXE
PROSTARTUP=%DLC%\BIN\STARTUP.PF

and check also your PATH, %DLC% and %DLC%\bin must be there.

Regards,
Gabor
