PANIMATE.EXE Needs DLLs (V-ISAM.DLL, _SORT.DLL) for ISAM, SORT

PSS ID Number: Q58569 Article last modified on 02-28-1990

3.00 3.00a OS/2

Summary: When running PANIMATE.EXE to animate protected-mode COBOL programs that use ISAM files or the SORT statement, the dynamic link libraries (DLLs) V-ISAM.DLL or _SORT.DLL (respectively) must be available to PANIMATE. If they are not available, PANIMATE generates an error. This information applies to Microsoft COBOL Compiler Versions 3.00 and 3.00a for MS OS/2.

More Information: If an animated program uses ISAM files, the dynamic link library V-ISAM.DLL must be available to PANIMATE. If V-ISAM.DLL is not available, the error message “System program not found (Error 170)” is generated when the first ISAM file I/O statement (usually OPEN) is executed. If a program uses the SORT statement, the dynamic link library _SORT.DLL must be available to PANIMATE. If it is not available, the error message “Load Failure (Error 198)” is generated when the first SORT statement is executed. To make a DLL available, the LIBPATH environment variable must be set in the CONFIG.SYS file to point to the same directory that PANIMATE and the DLLs are in.
