Powerbuilder dataprocessing error?

I'm fairly new to Powerbuilder and I am having this issue during run time. When I run my program it shows this error:

999 Cannot connect!
DBMS is not supported in your current installation

What's the cause of this?

You're not populating the transaction object correctly. Somewhere in your code you are doing something like SQLCA.DBMS = "XXX" where XXX is the first three characters of your database interface, e.g., SQLCA.DBMS = "ODB" for ODBC or SQLCA.DBMS = "ORA" for Oracle.

The fact the message reads 

DBMS is not supported in your current installation

versus

DBMS XXX is not supported in your current installation

indicates the DBMS property is being set to an empty string. Many applications use ProfileString to grab this value from an INI file, so it's likely the value is not in the INI file or (more likely) that the INI file is not being located by your application at runtime.
