CSQL-F-021: Precompiler did not complete -- Terminating

After calling the database precompiler COBSQL checks to make sure that it completed. It does this by trying to open the files that the precompiler should have produced. If it cannot open the files, it reports this error.

If this message is displayed and the precompiler has created both a listing file and the expanded source code, then either COBSQL does not have read permissions on the files, or they have been created in the wrong directory. Ensure that the current directory is set correctly before running COBSQL.
