Very Computer

We are having a problem running cobol programs using
MicroFocus Cobol version 3.0.5
Oracle 7.0.16.4
PL/SQL  2.0.18.1
Pro*Cobol  1.5.10
on a Sun Sparc running Solaris 1.1

The rtsora program always aborts, unable to find one of the MF Cobol
symbols.  This occurs with the Oracle sample cobol programs as well as
our own software.  We have been working with MF and Oracle for several
days, to no avail.  Any ideas or hints gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.

We're using Oracle 6, but never mind. Oracle supply a version of RTSORA,
but ours was out of date when it arrived.

The appropriate bit from our Makefile is:

COBLIBS=$(COBDIR)/coblib/libcobol.a $(COBDIR)/coblib/libscreen.a \
        $(ORACLE_HOME)/procob/lib/cobsqlintf.o
COB_HOME=$(ORACLE_HOME)/procob

rtsora:
        $(MAKE) -f $(COB_HOME)/lib/procob.mk rtsora COBLIBS="$(COBLIBS)"

You need COBDIR and ORACLE set beforehand.
