When I try to animate any Cobol program which contains a call to Dialog System, at the point where the call is made animator stops and displays a panel headed "Perform/Call Stack - view" . This indicates that DSCRUN is not animatable. There is also the error message: 191 Terminal type not defined - DSCRUN.
I believe there is only one terminal type defined on our system, which is vt220.
The programs run OK "normally". My problem is getting past the Dialog System calls when debugging.
#ServerExpressHello Richard,
What operating system and version are you on? You can use "uname -a" to find this information.
Also, which version of Server Express are you running? This can be found by running "cob -V"

#ServerExpressThanks Blair
We have SCO Unixware 7.1.4 and Server Express 5.1 WrapPack 5

#ServerExpressI was able to produce this same error inside Animator:
191 Terminal type not defined - DSCRUN
by setting the environment variable COBTERMINFO to a location other than $COBDIR/terminfo. Here is output from 'echo' commands on my system under conditions where the error occurs:
$ echo $COBDIR
/products/SXv51WP7
$ echo $COBTERMINFO
/usr/share/terminfo
I can fix the problem by un-setting COBTERMINFO (the preferred approach), or setting COBTERMINFO=$COBDIR/terminfo. On your system, what is the value of the COBTERMINFO environment variable when this error occurs? Also, what is the value of the TERM and (if set) the TERMINFO environment variables?

#ServerExpressCOBDIR=/opt/microfocus/cobol
COBTERMINFO=/usr/lib/terminfo
TERM=vt220aec
TERMINFO is not set
I changed COBTERMINFO to $COBDIR/terminfo and can now animate OK.
Thanks very much.
