What OS?

Have you changed something recently?

Do other Progress commands (prodb, procopy, proserve, proshut, mpro etc...) work properly?

Do you have execute permissions on prodel? Or it might be a permissions issues with $DLC/bin.

Do you possibly have multiple versions of Progress loaded, and the DLC is pointing to another Progress version.

I have encountered issues with prodel, different error, but still had problems (related to _dbutil) though.

What do these commands say?

file $DLC/bin/prodel
ls -l $DLC/bin/prodel
sum $DLC/bin/prodel

tom,

these are the results

1. /progress9/91e/bin/prodel: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, SPARC V9, version 1 (SYSV)
, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

2. -rwxrwx--x 1 dlc users 20096 Aug 22 15:16 /progress9/91e/bin/prodel

You're trying to run a SPARC executable on Linux? That seems wrong. Do the other, working, executables (like _progres) show a similar string? I see the following (for OE10) on my system:

$ file _progres
_progres: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
$ file prodel
prodel: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped

I don't have 9.1e handy so I cannot compare the checksum but perhaps someone else can.
