SUMMARY:
This solution applies to Progress Version 9.x. You might encounter the following message when you import text files into the database from Data Administration even though the text file is not empty:
0 records in Delimited ASCII format loaded into <table>
This problem happens on Windows platforms, 2000, NT etc.
EXPLANATION:
The import utility runs the executable quoter in background to format a data file to a format Progress can read. When Progress tries to run the quoter executable, it fails to run and throws up the above-mentioned error.
The reason for the failure is that the system does not find the quoter.exe executable that resides in %DLC%\bin.
SOLUTION:
There are three workarounds to this problem:
- Start the Progress session from the proenv environment.
Proenv sets the path to %DLC%\bin when you enter the
environment.
- Add %DLC%\bin to your system PATH environment variable.
- Copy quoter.exe to your current working directory.
NOTE: In Version 9.x, the default directory where Progress
is installed is no longer C:\DLC but C:\Program
Files\Progress.
This problem is fixed in the latest patches for 9.1B.
