Your question is vague, to say the least. If you don't know what you want, there's not much chance that I do.
Both prostrct and proutil are database utilities. What are you trying to do with your database?
Given the general level of your question, and if you are serious about learning, my recommendations are:

Given the general level of your question, and if you are serious about learning, my recommendations are:
- Download the documentation library for your Progress/OpenEdge version from progress.com
- Read the Database Essentials manual
- Read the Database Administration manual (which documents prostrct and proutil, among many other utilities)
- If you use the SQL engine, read the SQL Reference manual too

Both utilities are used for things that might be called "administration".
Administration is a big topic and there are many other utilities that are involved.
The "prostrct" utility is very specialized. You use it to manipulate the db structure (the "extents" which make up the database).
The "proutil" utility is general purpose. It has many, many options and is used for a lot of different purposes.
As Rob says, read the docs. Those will give you a *lot* more insight.
If you have Progress on Windows just open up the "help" icon, go to the index and type in "proutil" or "prostrct" or whatever. You will learn all sorts of interesting things.
Or come to PUG Challenge and attend all of the DBA oriented sessions
