Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Client session can't start.
Unable to use your terminal. Check your PROTERMCAP file. (443)
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress 9.x
CAUSE:
The environment variable TERM has an inexistent terminal specification.
FIX:
Check the environment variable TERM issuing the command:
echo $TERM
This must return a valid entry that exists in the PROTERMCAP terminal definition.
To know if it's a valid terminal definition look into the PROTERMCAP file.
For example if you want to verify the definition for the terminal IBM 3151 you would find in the PROTERMCAP:
# This entry is for the IBM model 3151 terminal.
# Note: Because the function keys use \Ea through \El these keys cannot
# be used for their default key-functions (e.g. SAVE-AS, BRAKE-LINE, etc.).
# The key-sequences \E0 through \E9 have been substituted in their place.
# This Terminal Is Supported By Progress
m3|ibm3151|3151:\ <- These are the valid entries for TERM
WARNING: Don't modify the PROTERMCAP file !
