To assist with the upgrade process, Sybase recommends you set the
OLDSYBASE, OLDSYBASE_ASE, and OLDSYBASE_OCS
environment variables to point to the old installation of Adaptive
Server. If you set these environment variable to the old installation of
the Adaptive Server, the upgrade utility automatically populates input
fields with the correct information as you upgrade.
