Just a guess, but when people say this, I believe they mean
both ODBC-client (currently available) and ODBC-server (not
available) capability.  In other words, the ability to define
a filePro file as an ODBC data source, such that one could
pull data into Excel, or update filePro records via an ODBC
"update" statement, etc.
