called program file not found in drive / directory SQLADR

Hi I am getting the error 173 - Called program file not found in drive/directory SQLADR when running the simple cobol. I included the below command of Additional Directives of Project Properties as my database is Oracle 19c Enterprise Edition 64 bit. I am using Micro Focus Eclipse for Windows.

p(cobsql) CSQLT=ORACLE8 MAKESYN VERBOSE KEEPCBL END-C p(cp) ENDP ENDP litlink

Also I linked the file  Orasql12.lib file through Project Properties > Additional Link files. I am new to Micro Visual Eclipse. So I followed the instructions in MicroFocus website. But I am still getting the error. Please let me know if i am missing anything. Thanks in advance.

The error message means that it cannot load the orasql12.dll at run-time.

Is the Oracle 12 client 32-bit or 64-bit?

If it is 32-bit then the process you outlined should work if you are linking to the 32-bit Oracle library. I tested it here and it works fine for me.

If it is 64-bit then you might try the following.

Remove the litlink directive from the build directives.

Add the following code to your main program.

in working-storage

01 pp procedure pointer.

in procedure division.

set pp to entry "orasql12"

This will load the library so the location of the orasql12.dll file must be within the PATH.
