Summary: The ANIM directive is not allowed inside the COBOL.DIR file when animating a COBOL program. This applies to PANIMATE.EXE as well as to ANIMATE.EXE. Therefore, the ANIM directive should always be mentioned either on the compiler’s command line or at the top of the program using the $SET directive. If the /ANIM directive is in the COBOL.DIR file when ANIMATE.EXE or PANIMATE.EXE is invoked, the following error message is generated: * Error - ANIM directive invalid when Animating This information applies to Microsoft COBOL Compiler versions 3.00 and 3.00a for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
