CAUSE:
The full hostname greater than 28 characters. Progress uses a C function called 'gethostname' to determine a UNIX machine's hostname. If the hostname is longer than 28 characters Linux returns a null string to Progress, as opposed to a truncated name.
FIX:
The full hostname must be less or equal to 28 characters on Linux.
To determine the length of your hostname, run the 'hostname' command at the UNIX shell prompt.
To change the name of your Linux hostname, type 'hostname <newhostname>' (where <newhostname> is 27 characters or less). This operation will require ROOT permission.
