I’m a Prodigy Guy and they are pretty straight forward as far as programming goes.  Like the above post states we need more input.
 
Factory installed decoder?  What version Prodigy?  What is the decoder manufacturer?  Did you use the Programming output from the Prodigy or Track Power?  Did you start with Locomotive address 003?  Did you change the decoder address?

Skip,

Welcome to the forums. We need more information. What DCC equipped engine are you using? Is it new or did you buy it used? What progaraming attempts have you made? You mentioned the dc operation works. While many decoders can run on dc, sometimes it will affect their DCC operation.
