The word "database" is not part of the syntax for the CONNECT statement.

CONNECT "chris".

is the correct syntax.

The OpenEdge documentation for CONNECT is here: https://documentation.progress.com/output/OpenEdge117/openedge117/?_ga=2.93982683.75218856.1547464117-1040589272.1546786181#page/dvpin%2Fthe-connect-statement.html

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with:

run chrisf.p disconnect databse.

but that will run an external procedure called "chrisf.p" and pass 2 "compile on the fly" parameters with values of "disconnect" and "databse". (I'm pretty sure that's not really what you intend.)
