I'm using Visual COBOL in Visual Studio 2015 and I'm having trouble doing a simple CALL statement. In NetExpress the called program .CBL had to be in the same directory and it always worked. Not sure where to put the called .CBL program in Visual COBOL. This is a very simple program to show students how to retrieve the date in various formats using a CALL statement instead of hard coding the code. I've tried to place it in various different folders but get the following error: 173 Called program file not found in drive/directory [DATE-TIME] I've even created a folder called [DATE-TIME] and placed the code inside of this folder but I get the same result. Here is the code IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. PROGRAM-ID. DATE-TIME-EXAMPLE. * ****************************************************************** * * This is an example of a program that "calls" another program * (in this case the DATE-TIME program). * ****************************************************************** ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. DATA DIVISION. WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. COPY DATE-TIME.COP. 01 DUMMY pic X. PROCEDURE DIVISION. 100-MAIN. CALL 'DATE-TIME' USING DATE-TIME-PASS-AREA DISPLAY DATE-YYMMDD DISPLAY DATE-MMDDYY DISPLAY DATE-MMDDYY-SLASHES DISPLAY DATE-YYYYMMDD DISPLAY DATE-MMDDYYYY DISPLAY DATE-MMDDYYYY-SLASHES DISPLAY TIME-HHMMSSXX DISPLAY TIME-HHMMSSXX-COLONS display 'Finished' accept dummy STOP RUN. Any help would be appreciated
