Reason for this Error in COBOL
Version number incompatibility (Fatal) -One or more of the run-time support modules is incompatible with the run-time system you are using. The name of the incompatible support module is displayed. Alternately, the run-time system you are using is incompatible with the version of your COBOL system. Either “RTS” or the name of the run-time system file is displayed: coblib.dll (OS/2), coblib.dle (DOS) or coblib.dlw (Windows). -Reinstall the support module, using your installation disks. Reinstall the run-time system file, using your installation disks. If no support module name is displayed, you have done one of the following: -Used intermediate code which has been produced on a version of your COBOL system that is incompatible with the run-time system you are using. Your RTS, therefore, cannot execute correctly any generated code you are producing or have already produced from this intermediate code. -Tried to execute a file which is not your COBOL system’s intermediate or generated code.
