Hi Oran,

The RTS 173 error means that the entry point you are trying to call cannot be found. 

Did this used to work in a previous compiler version and it just now stopped woirking or is this new development?

You state that you have C calling COBOL but this error seems to indicate that it is COBOL trying to call C?

How are the C programs packaged, i.e., linked to the COBOL programs, linked into the run-time, or linked into a shared object (is the object loaded)?
How are the C programs being called? What does the COBOL CALL statement look like?

Thanks.
