Hi, 

1. Installed COBOL runtime environment onto a clean Windows 2012 server  

2. COBOL32 folder is available in the required drive - Unzip from existing server(W2008)

3. Environment variables has been setup 

COBDIR = C:\\COBOL32\\LBR;C:\\COBOL32\\EXEDLL\\

COBSW =  -F 

UTILDIR = C:\\COBOL32\\LBR

 Amended the System Environment Variable, PATH, to include (%COBDIR%)

4. Additional DLL placed in the windows/system32 folder 

MSVCR71.dll
MSVCRT20.dll
NTWDBLIB.dll

5. The Data Execution Prevention System settings has been set to ON(to run only for Windows essential services ) 

6. My COBOL RUNTIME Test fails i.e From a command prompt, type RUNW and this should bring up a COBOL window

I'm getting the below error  

Execution error : file 'TRIGGER'
error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0
114 Attempt to access item beyond bounds of memory (Signal 11)

We can also move this to the correct forum - however, there are three to choose from: AcuCOBOL, RM/COBOL and Visual COBOL.

Please tell us how you navigated to this community/forum - we've had an increased number of off-topic submissions, potentially there is a wrong link somewhere (documentation?, embedded link in other community?, link in some webpage? etc.).

What Micro Focus COBOL product is this? It seems like it is very old, perhaps even back to Workbench?

You could try turning the DEP off and see if it makes a difference.

Hi Chris, It is very old V4.0.38, No Luck tried with DEP - Off as well.

You can tell by the date being displayed that the Object COBOL product is ancient. It has never been tested and is not supported on any new operating system. Perhaps somebody on this forum who has used this product in the past may have an idea of how to get around the  RTS114 error but I have no way of even testing this.

My advice would be of course, to upgrade to a supported product like Visual COBOL.
