Problem:

After trying to run a program after an upgrade of Server Express, a 211 error occurs:

Load error : file 'pi'
error code: 211, pc=0, call=1, seg=0
211     Program not executable by Run-Time System

Why is this happening?

Resolution:

This can occur if the program was not recompiled after the upgrade. It is recommended that all programs be recompiled after upgrades of Server Express to avoid issues such as this one.

This error can also occur if the program was compiled under one cobmode and then execution is attempted under a different cobmode. Merely changing the cobmode at the time of execution using the following may clear this.

       export COBMODE={desired bitmode}
