Title:

fserr=5, fserrs=-21 when connecting to a datasource via the ODBC Driver

Description:

Possible causes include:

1) There are spaces in the config.tpm file before the equals sign (=)

DICTIONARY =/<server,port=5150>/u/bbx/BBDICT/
DATA =/<server,port=5150>/u/bbx/data/

2) The Data Dictionary definition in _ddedit.utl has the path to the Data files hard coded instead of using the (DATA) global.

3) The DICTIONARY and DATA portions of the config.tpm file are not all caps:
        Dictionary=
and/or
        Data=
4) Incorrect or missing Network User ID: in the advanced options of the ODBC Administrator

Resolution:

1) Remove the extra spaces
2) Use the (DATA) global
3) Ensure that DATA and DICTIONARY are in upper case
4) Enter the correct Network USER ID: in the Advanced options of the ODBC Administrator
