Hi, all should be fine on Win8. Can I check how you installed the COBOL Server modules? Did you use the Micro Focus installer? Thanks

So you have not installed the COBOL Server product on the Windows 8 computer, is that correct?
That is really essential to getting this to run correctly as COBOL Server contains all of the required run-time files that appear to be missing.
Did you simply copy your program over to the Windows 8 computer or are you running from a network?

The COBOL Server version 2.1 update 1 2010 is an older product release.
The version of COBOL Server that you use must match to the product version under which the application was compiled.
What Visual COBOL product version are you using to compile and with what version of Visual Studio are you running?
You can get the version information by opening Visual Studio selecting Help-->About Visual Studio and then clicking on Visual COBOL entry.
If you are using ACU calls then I believe you need to compile with the DIALECT"ACU" directive.

So you are compiling with Visual COBOL 2.2 update 1.
That means that you need to download and install the COBOL Server 2.2 update 1 in order to correctly run your application.
This is available for download from the Supportline Product Updates site.
If you are compiling with dialect OSVS then you will not be able to make ACU calls as OSVS is for strict compatibility with the mainframe.
