Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.I have read posts with similar error messages to the one I am experiencing, but none with the additional 'Insufficient Memory' problem. I have tried most suggestions (FORCEDOS, etc.) with no success. First, a quick overview: Every year we are sent an updated version of a Cobol program to run for statistical reporting. We receive the program in source code, compile it, and run it. This year the executable fails at run time with the 'Cobol run time library not installed - Insufficient Memory' message. The source code was compiled (without error) using Micro Focus 3.4, and the executable was created using the 'XM COBOL' command. The source code is compiled on a Windows 3.0 machine, and then the executable is sent over to a Windows 2k machine to run. We run a lot of Cobol programs, all of which are compiled and run as previously described. Last year's version of the program runs correctly. Deadlines are fast approaching, so does anybody have any suggestions?
