You didn't say what platform you are running on or what release of Oracle but this may help.
First, if you are on Oracle 7.1, use Server Manager instead of SQLDBA.  It is much better! If you must run SQLDBA then check your environment variables. I don't know about other systems but if you are on UNIX (I am on HP-UX) you must have the following: ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID
which are standard. But to run SQLDBA you also need: ORACLE_TERM >> type of terminal ex. hp, vt100, etc. ORACLE_TERMINAL >> the path to your terminal types.

                ex. $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk2/admin/terminal
