Problem:

When you try to execute a program that uses WOW Extensions, the program fails with one of the following termination messages:

COBOL Procedure error 234 (no object file found). Error loading subprogram WF090.

COBOL Procedure error 204 (program not found)...

Or

COBOL Procedure error 234 (no object file found). Error loading subprogram WF093.

COBOL Procedure error 204 (program not found)...

Resolution:

This error indicates that the WOW Runtime Library(wowrt.dll) was not loaded when the program was executed.

To resolve this issue, you can instruct the RM/COBOL Runtime(runcobol.exe) to load the WOW Runtime Library(wowrt.dll) with the "L" command line option.  For example:

runcobol.exe wowhelloworld L="C:\\Program Files\\Liant\\RMCOBOLv12\\WOWRT.DLL"

Alternatively, you can copy WOWRT.DLL into the "RmAutoLd" sub-directory inside the RMCOBOLv12 installation directory.

If loading the WOW Runtime Library does not resolve this issue, then, this issue is being caused by a licensing problem.  Please contact Micro Focus SupportLine, or your Micro Focus Sales Account Manager, if the error persists after loading the WOW Runtime Library.
