Set Term question

It has been a long time since I messed with Unix but I'm needing to run DBACCESS on a Sun box so I can get some table descriptions and an export. I feel pretty stupid about this question but when I get to the bin directory and type in dbaccess, the screen does not refresh and give me the typical "ISQL" environment. It gives me the first line and then each successive return gives the next line of what should be an interactive full screen mode form. What do I need to type in (in Unix) to make my character display correct. I've tryed set term vt100, etc but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated. Bob Moore

If you're executing dbaccess from a command tool on openwindows environment, the correct term definition should be "sun" or "sun-cmd". Try to setenv TERM to this ones.
