Special Connection Issues

The DataServer (-Dsrv) parameter uses the PRGRS_CONNECT option to allow you to pass ODBC-specific information to the ODBC driver. A DataServer connection string contains all of the information needed to establish a connection. It consists of a series of keywords/value pairs separated by semicolons. The Progress DataServer for SQL Server™ passes the connection string specified by the PRGRS_CONNECT option directly through to the ODBC driver without modification. For more information, refer to the Microsoft ODBC Programmer’s Reference . The parameter has the following syntax:

SYNTAX
-Dsrv PRGRS_CONNECT,connection-string; 

ODBC-specific connection information is passed in connection–string. The connection string is separated from the option by a comma (,) and ends with a semicolon (;).

Value pairs within the connect string are delimited by a semicolon (;).

NOTE: PRGRS_CO is a valid abbreviation for PRGRS_CONNECT.

Use the PRGRS_CONNECT parameter in the following cases:
