Pro*COBOL & Microfocus ANIMATOR

Yes, there are people who use COBOL! - Those who want to get a realworld  3GL job done in the safest way!

Anyway, if you don't know what ANIMATOR is you probably can't help, but just for those who scoff at COBOL it is a full screen, cursor-driven source level debugger which lets you query & modify the value of variables, set break points, execute at a controlled speed & etc...

So it would be very nice to be able to use it with Pro*COBOL programs. However, as soon as ANIMATOR hits an Oracle subroutine in the pre-compiled program, it stops with an error message: 173 Subroutine not found in current drive/directory. I'm working on AIX & have tried to extract the required subroutines from the libraries and link them in the current directory but without success.

Has anyone else come across this problem/solved it?

Thanks for any help.
