ESQL Issues - Visual Cobol 2.3

Hi,

I am trying to execute below code in visual cobol 2.3, its giving 19703 error.

           EXEC SQL
            CONNECT :WS-ORA-UIP-V USING :WS-ORA-SID-V
           END-EXEC.

WS-ORA-UIP-V= uid\pwd and WS-ORA-SID-V= DBNAME.

Directive was set to:

      $set sql(dbman=odbc targetdb=ORACLE)

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Ramesh
