Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.2x
Progress 8.3x
Progress 9.x
Windows 32 Intel
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
SYMPTOM(s):
Could not load DLL procedure <procedure>. (3258)
Could not find the entrypoint <function>. (3260)
CHANGE:
The OPSYS parameter was changed from its default of WIN32 to MSDOS
CAUSE:
Several pieces of the Progress development environment (Procedure Editor, Data Administration, AppServer) use the OPSYS parameter internally to see whether a 16-bit or 32bit call should be made. By changing the value that the OPSYS function returns to 'MSDOS' it caused the Progress development environment to assume a 16-bit operating environment which in turn caused Progress to invoke the 16-bit variations of the Windows API rather than the needed 32-bit ones.
Old 16bit New 32Bit
name name
------------ ------------
USER.EXE USER32.DLL
KERNEL.EXE KERNEL32.DLL
KRNL386.EXE KERNEL32.DLL
FIX:
Reset the OPSYS parameter to its default value then change the application to use a user defined environment variable instead of OPSYS.
