Problem:

I have problem generating the .gnt files.  When I do a "cob -u progname.int" I am getting this:

* Rejected - TARGET"386-16"

cob32: error(s) in code generation: CSBM0201.int

What does this mean?

Resolution:

The compiler directive TARGET"386-16" is not a default setting; this directive specification is apparently a customization made by early developers of the application and carried forward with the application ever since.

TARGET"386-16" tells the Native Code Generator to produce machine code for a 16-bit Intel 386 chip (probably an early PC).  It has been several years since 16-bit 386 chips were state-of-the-art.  Remove the specification of this directive and proceed.
