To help you diagnose ODBC connectivity problems, the odbct tool verifies your system configuration by attempting to make a simple connection to the target.
Be sure to run the odbct tool in
the same environment in which you plan to use ECDA targets by executing DC_SYBASE.csh.
The odbct tool has three parameters: a data source name (DSN), user ID, and password. This example shows a connection to the dcmssql DSN using the user ID ”joe” and password “joe21”.
