FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
Bug 20050817-036
CAUSE:
It is a bug in _sqlsrv2. The code looks at the TPE_DATADIR environment variable, and if set this overrides the value of the WRKDIR environment variable. and a path through our code is followed where there is a failure to initialize another variable and this causes the problem (defererence ofuninitialized pointer).
FIX:
Bug is fixed in 10.1 or
Unset environment variable TPE_DATADIR
