| Problem |
| When attempting to execute a COBOL program the following message is displayed:
"Cobol run time library not installed - File not found" |
|
| Resolution |
| Under Windows NT/2000/XP you will receive this error when you attempt to execute a 16bit COBOL program that is a "family mode" program like "run", "wb", "cobol" or "editor". All these programs are "triggers" and include both a DOS and OS/2 version of the program. Windows NT/2000/XP will ignore the DOS version of the program and recognize the OS/2 version, searching for the OS/2 run-time support, and failing to find any, results in display of the message. This ca be overcome by using:
C:\>FORCEDOS RUN ...
or
C:\>XM RUN ...
FORCEDOS is a NT/2000/XP command that ignores the OS/2 program version and executes the DOS version of the program.
XM is a DOS program.
