We have been running the same software for several years using AcuCOBOL runtime 10.2 on a Windows network with an Oracle database. Everything is fine without error and then randomly we get an error that gives very little information.  Just a message that says "ProgramName: Not a COBOL Program".  Any idea what would case this?

I should have added that the only way we have found to resolve this is to reboot the server.

Random issues like this one can difficult to track down. I recommend opening a support case so it can be looked into.
