The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Message:      RT173
 
  Text:         Called program file not found in drive/directory
 
  Severity:     Fatal
 
  Explanation:  You have attempted to call a program which is not
                present on your current logged-in drive or directory, or
                in a directory pointed to by the COBDIR environment
                variable.
 
  Resolution:   Once your program has terminated you will need to copy
                the relevant file into your logged-in drive or
                directory.  If there is not sufficient space available
                to allow you to do this, then you will have to set the
                COBDIR environment variable to search the directory or
                drive on which the file is present when your program
                calls it. Refer to your COBOL System Reference for details
                of the COBDIR environment variable. Once you have taken
                these steps, run your program again.
