Problem:
Animating programs located in one folder location off the \\DEBUG folder (i.e., "FOLDER1\\DEBUG") which call .gnt's from a different folder off the \\DEBUG folder (i.e., "FOLDER2\\DEBUG") generates an "ERROR 173: Called program not found in drive/directory").
Resolution:
Within the NetExpress IDE, do the following:
1.) Open a NEW project
2.) Pull down the "Project" menu and select "Properties". The "Properties Window" will appear.
3.) Click on the "IDE" button located in the "Environment" section of the window.
4.) A window will pop up with the title "Configure IDE environment". Change or set environment variables for the environment within that window.
For example, to change the environment variable COBDIR: enter COBDIR as the "Variable" name. On the "Value" line, enter the location of the original "FOLDER1\\DEBUG" folder, followed by a semicolon, then followed by the literal %cobdir%. Example: C:\\..<directory>...\\FOLDER1\\DEBUG;%cobdir%
This will set the DEBUG folder from the original FOLDER1 project at the first location for the COBDIR environment variable.
Altering the value for the PATH environment variable should not be necessary unless some of the project's sub-programs are in a format (.DLL) other than a Micro Focus
format (.int or .gnt).
