From the error messages provided, it looks like DCS toolbox HYSYS is trying to communicate with MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a) using DDE server, which is disabled by default since MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and is an obsolete functionality.
As an alternative, we strongly suggest utilizing COM in MATLAB. Unlike Dynamic Data Exchange, Component Object Model functionality is actively being maintained by MathWorks and is the preferred workflow.
