DSEDIT cannot locate the libtcl.cfg file.

You can add, modify, or delete entries for servers, including Adaptive Server
IQ servers, in this window.

server, you must modify the entry.

Server entry name
need not match server
command-line name

The server name entered here does not need to match the name provided on the
Adaptive Server IQ command line. The server address, not the server name, is
used to identify and locate the server.

It server name field is purely an identifier for Open Client. For Adaptive Server
IQ, if the server has more than one database loaded, the DSEDIT server name
entry identifies which database to use.

Adding or changing the server address

Once you have entered a Server Name, you need to modify the Server Address
to complete the interfaces file entry.

To enter a Server Address:

1
