realia cobol. exe returns dos16m error under windows 98

[rambleon]

Hi,
I have a large realia cobol program - over 20,000 lines of code exe size 650K - in Windows 2000 it runs like a dream. Under Windows 98 it bombs out with a DOS16M error.
We're using a Realia compiler 4.105 and OptLink/Segmented 2.31
Can someone please point me in the right direction to create a Windows 98 compatible exe.

Thanks

Crox Hi
Sorry I didn't reply sooner been away on othere things.
The state of play so far is I've put himem, emm386 and dos=high,umb in the config.sys. I removed the realbind/e
and used only REALCOB.LIB in the LINK. The result is I
no longer recieve the DOS/16M error, now the program crashes on error 96 (out of memory) on openning an index file for output.
If you have any suggestions on how I can advance from here
or if you can tell me why no-one has replied to my ART2KMIN
thread I'd be very grateful

Many Thanks

Rambleon

one reason can be that you opened an other sortfile before which can take all the memory left. Look up the file descriptor and reserve some memory for later files or open the sort file later.

Realbind /e can be still important if you need more memory than standard. It can even solve this problem.
