Save the current value of environment variables in a text file: SYBASE, SYBASE_OCS, INCLUDE, and PATH.

Click System in the control panel. Open the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables. Edit the value for the environment variables SYBASE, SYBASE_OCS, INCLUDE, and PATH with the values saved in the text file (as done in Step 2).

- Open a command prompt and change the directory to the pre-15.0 ASE SYBASE directory.
- Execute the SYBASE.BAT file.
