Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 95
Windows 98
SYMPTOM(s):
Error from within a Progress client session
Error: This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
Using OS-COMMAND to shell out to DOS from a Progress client session on Windows 9x.
Using OS-COMMAND in order to run a Progress executable from the DOS prompt.
CAUSE:
This is not a Progress issue. Similar programs will receive the same error from a command prompt. The settings of the command prompt are inherited when you shell to DOS.
FIX:
These steps might help to overcome this problem in general, and therefore also from within Progress.
Change the configuration of the MS-DOS window, which can be done by the following steps:
1) Start MS-DOS Prompt.
2) In the MS-DOS Prompt dialog box, click the Properties button.
3) In the MS-DOS Prompt Properties dialog box, click the Program tab,
and then click the Advanced button.
4) In the Advanced Program Settings dialog box, make sure the
"Prevent MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows" box
is not checked, and then click the OK button.
5) Quit MS-DOS, and then retry the program that shells out to DOS.
