Hi,

In general we connect to Sybase server by using it's alias name like
shown below.
dblogin('dbuser','dbpassword', 'SYBASE_SERVER');

But is there any to connect using underlying host (place where SYBASE
server resides) and port number as shown below?

dblogin('dbuser','dbpassword', '100.100.100.100:1400');


Thanks

No, not with DB_library.

Recent CT-Library apps (12.5.1, I think) can use this format (I forget the
exact name of the property you need to set.)

The work-around would be to create a temporary interfaces file, and then
use dbsetifile() to use that interfaces file to connect.

BTW - this looks like you're using perl, because in C you'd use dbopen()
(dblogin() only returns a new LOGINREC).

Thanks Mike. You are right. I am using perl.
