I am in the process of migrating from MFEE to Enterprise Developer. One of my programs calls another program. I get this error: 173 Called program not found in drive/directory. Is this the same error as described for NET SERVER and the other product? Any thoughts.

A 173 error is a 'file not found' thrown by the COBOL RTS.  There can be many reasons for it occurring, but usually it's down to the location not being available on COBDIR.

Basically, your program is trying to call another program which the COBOL RTS cannot locate.

I'm not sure I understand you when you ask about the help for NET SERVER.  Or come to that 'the other product'.  Which products are you referring to?  

Full help on the COBOl RTS messages should be available in the Enteprise Developer on-line help.
