The DSN format is dependent on the ODBC server you're connecting to.
Your SQL server should include documentation on the format needed.
Can I assume that this is for low-level ODBC access?  Try setting
up a high-level access non-filePro file to the same source, using
the wizard in ddefine.  This will build the DSN for you and place
it on the second line of the "map" file.
