procob file missing from .../bin

[Farab]

Recently installed Oracle 9.2.0.1 and upgraded to 9.2.0.4. Trying to precompile a COBOL program for the first time against the new database and realised there is no procob binary in the {ORACLE_HOME}/bin directory.

I assume this is because the DBA did not install it. What do you have to do to install it after Oracle has already been installed?

The precompiler is part of the client-installation.
Tell your DBA to reinstalled it: Same CD as server, just choose client installation when asked and then procobol.

Hi, we had a similar problem recently with or profortran and proc. These are not necessarily part of the client installation incidentally. What we had to do was re-install but this time take the custom install option and select only the pre-compilers from there. This is a known bug (certainly for VMS systems anyway)
