d4gl apps won't run on client except when...

Hi everyone. We've been stuck with this one and I hope somebody could help. This is a bit long so begging for some patience.... We have a 4gl app. that we just converted/compiled in dynamic 4gl. Our setup is as follows: 1. client (w/s) using telnet/wtk connects to NT server via Ataman Rlogin service. 2. Once logged in, user runs environment batch file and runs application by "fglrun app.42r" We're using IDS for NT 7.31 TC1 and Dynamic 4gl 3.0 UC1. The server is a DELL Poweredge 2300, 1 CPU, running NT 4.0 SP4. What we've done so far. 1. define users on NT and Ataman. 2. for each user, logged in locally to NT and ran Informix setnet32 (on instructions from Informix tech. support) 3. Set the variables INFORMIXDIR, INFORMIXSQLHOSTS, INFORMIXSERVER, INFORMIXSERVICE, etc.. 4. telnet to the server 5. run a batch file containing the environment variables. 6. run the application BUT program stops at the line containing the word MAIN We observed the ff. 1. If we log on remotely using user informix id, we can run the application from the client machine. 2. If we log on remotely using any other id (ex. homer), we cannot run the application. 3. However, if (homer) logs on locally to the server BEFORE he logs on remotely, then the user can run the application. Even if he logs off from the server locally, the remote connection is maintained and he can start another session using telnet and run another instance of the application from the client. If home logs off all his remote sessions and tries to re-connect, the same problem happens, the application won't run. It would seem like logging on locally sets-up some environment settings or permissions. This is a dump of my environment once logged in remotely. > COMMAND=C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe > COMPUTERNAME=DELLAPPL > ComSpec=C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe > DBPATH=C:\\SIS\\APPL\\> EMULATION=VTXXX > FGLDIR=C:\\USR\\FGL2C > FGLEDITOR=notepad.exe > FGLGUI=1 > FGLPROFILE=C:\\USR\\FGL2C\\ETC\\FGLPROFILE > FGLSERVER=170.1.106.145:0 > HOME=c:\\usr\\fgl2c\\ > INFORMIXDIR=C:\\INFORMIX> NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=1 > OS=Windows_NT > Os2LibPath=C:\\WINNT\\system32\\os2\\dll; > OSAGENT_PORT=14016 > Path=C:\\INFORMIX\\BIN;C:\\USR\\FGL2C\\BIN;C:\\WINNT\\system32;C:\\WINNT;C:\\USR\\FGL2C\\bin;C:\\PROGRA~1\\ULTRAEDT > PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD > PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86 > PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 2, GenuineIntel > PROCESSOR_LEVEL=6 > PROCESSOR_REVISION=0702 > PROMPT=$P$G > REMOTEADDRESS=170.1.106.145 > SISUTIL=C:\\SIS\\UTIL\\ > SystemDrive=C: > SystemRoot=C:\\WINNT > USERDOMAIN=stsc-domain > USERNAME=ssdjsb > USERPROFILE=C:\\WINNT\\Profiles\\informix > USRHOME=C:\\SIS\\APPL\\TEST\\ > windir=C:\\WINNT > The error message looks this way... > Program stopped at 'menu.4gl', line number 25. > I'd appreciate any help. Again sorry for such a long post... I couldn't find any other way to shorten it without discussing what we've found so far. Joben Rara
