plese hint me I don't have msdos622.img

DOSBox can be used in 2 slightly different ways:

  1. Run DOSBox normally, without a real operating system (e.g. a real MS-DOS) and let DOSBox emulate the operating system.
  2. Run DOSBox with a real operating system like MS-DOS or FreeDOS. Then DOSBox only emulates the hardware (disk, screen, keyboard) and not the operating system.

So far, you have used option 1. It could be that your report application uses something in the operating system that DOSBox does not know how to emulate, or emulates incorrectly, and you get the error about HIMEM.

Running DOSBox with a real operating system (option 2) means that you have to give DOSBox access to a copy of the operating system. You can do that if you can create a so called image file of an MS-DOS 6.22 diskette. This is the msdos62.img file. Or you can create an image file of FreeDOS.

Once you have the image file, you can use the imgmount and boot commands to start DOSBox with the real operating system. And then maybe the error will go away.

But we can not create such an image file for you. You have to do that yourself.

If the error is caused by a problem with the way DOSBox emulates MS-DOS, then using a real operating system (with the imgmount and the boot command) might solve the problem.

You said in your first post that my program is one dos application and run into dos fine. So maybe if you run/boot real DOS in DOSBox, then the problem will disappear?

"non_system disk or disk error"

...means that the disk is not bootable or system files are missing.
How exactly did you create it? Can you verify that the original floppy
is bootable?
