Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause

The example program's password buffer is set to max of 32 characters. The password entered above is 34 characters, which caused the error.

Resolution
Configure the security token in the Salesforce data source in the odbc.ini file with the following property:
SecurityToken=5odUZUcU2LIWwUS2hAplZlPX

Then test connect as follows:
 
./example DataDirect Technologies, Inc. ODBC Example Application.
 
Enter the data source name : Salesforce
 
Enter the user name        : sumit.sandbox2@progress.com
 
Enter the password         : myPassword
 
Enter SQL statements (Press ENTER to QUIT)
SQL>

If this still does not work, check if the user name is written on one line and not as:

sumit.sandbox2@
progress.com

If this is the case, you need to check the profile whether the "@" key does not force the cursor to jump to a new line: run "stty -a".
Check the following document where "@" key issue is discussed: https://www.unix.com/hp-ux/134072-typing-sign-creates-new-line.html
