seg disp. included near location in segment name
Explanation: This error is caused by using the LINK386 Warning of Fix-ups (/W) option.
Action: The segment name and the location offset is displayed.

frame-relative fix-up, frame ignored near location in segment name
Explanation: A fix up occurred with a frame segment different from the target segment where either the frame or the target segment is not absolute. Such a fix-up is meaningless in the OS/2 environment, so the target segment is assumed for the frame segment. This error sometimes occurs if a 32-bit data item is referenced as if it were in a 16-bit segment or a 16-bit segment referenced as if it were in a 32-bit segment.
Action: Check that this is acceptable.

frame-relative absolute fix-up near location in segment name
Explanation: A fix up occurred with a frame segment different from the target segment where both frame and target segments are absolute. This fix up is processed using base-offset arithmetic, but the warning is issued because the fix up might not be valid in the OS/2 environment. This error sometimes occurs if a 32-bit data item is referenced as if it were in a 16-bit segment or a 16-bit segment referenced as if it were in a 32-bit segment.
Action: Check that this is acceptable.

intersegment self-relative fix up at location in segment name
Explanation: LINK386 found an intersegment self-relative fix-up at the specified location. This might cause a problem with the executable file.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

possible fix-up overflow at location in segment name
Explanation: LINK386 found a possible fix-up overflow at the specified location. This might cause a problem with the executable file.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

32-bit fix-up in 16-bit record ignored at location in segment name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered a 32-bit fix-up in a 16-bit record at the specified location. This might cause a problem with the executable file.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

illegal 16-bit flat-relative offset fix-up at location in object name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered an illegal 16-bit flat relative offset fix-up at the specified location. This might cause a problem with the executable file. This error sometimes occurs if a 32-bit data item is referenced as if it were in a 16-bit segment or a 16-bit segment referenced as if it were in a 32-bit segment.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

illegal 16-bit flat-relative pointer fix-up at location in object name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered an illegal 16-bit flat-relative pointer fix-up at the specified location. This error sometimes occurs if a 32-bit data item is referenced as if it were in a 16-bit segment or a 16-bit segment referenced as if it were in a 32-bit segment.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

aliased fix-up to non-alias object near location in object name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered an aliased fix-up to a non-alias object at the specified location. This error sometimes occurs if a 32-bit data item is referenced as if it were in a 16-bit segment or a 16-bit segment referenced as if it were in a 32-bit segment.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

illegal target of flat-relative fix-up ignored at number in segment name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered an illegal flat-relative fix-up at the specified location.
Action: The error might have been caused by the way the program was written or when it was compiled or assembled.

invalid alignment specification; assuming number
Explanation: The number following the /ALIGNMENT option is not a power of 2, or is not in numerical form. The maximum alignment value is 4096.
Action: If the default alignment of 512 is not acceptable, restart LINK386 using a valid number.

name: unrecognized option name; option ignored
Explanation: The option specified is not valid for LINK386.
Action: Specify a valid option or remove the unrecognized option and relink.

missing or bad application type; option name ignored
Explanation: The /PMTYPE option was specified without an application type or with an invalid application type.
Action: Relink with an application type of PM, VIO, or NOVIO.

name: code segment size exceeds 65,500
Explanation: The code segment indicated is larger than 65,500 bytes and might not be reliable.
Action: Break the segment into smaller segments and try again.

no stack segment
Explanation: The program does not contain a stack segment defined with the STACK combine type. Normally, every .EXE program should have a stack segment with the combine type specified as STACK.
Action: You can ignore this message if you have a specific reason for not defining a stack or for defining one without the STACK combine type.

name1, name2: groups overlap
Explanation: Two groups are defined in such a way that one starts in the middle of another. This can occur if you defined segments in a module definition file or assembly file and did not correctly order the segments by class.
Action: Edit the source file and reorder the segments in the group.

name (alias): export internal name conflict
Explanation: An exported name, or its associated internal name, conflicts with an already defined public symbol.
Action: Edit the source file using new names.

name: multiple definitions for export name
Explanation: The module named has been exported more than once with different internal names. All internal names except the first one are ignored.
Action: Edit the source file using new names.

modname impname (intname): import internal name conflict
Explanation: An imported name, or its associated internal name, is also defined as an exported name. The import name is ignored. The conflict could come from a definition in either the module definition file or an object file.
Action: Edit the source file or module definition file using new names.

modname impname (intname): self-imported
Explanation: The module definition file directed that a name be imported from the module being produced.
Action: Edit the module definition file.

name: multiple definitions for import internal name
Explanation: An imported name, or its associated internal name, is imported more than once. The imported name is ignored after the first mention.
Action: Check that the name has been defined correctly.

name: segment already defined
Explanation: A segment is defined more than once with the same name in the module definition file. Segments must have unique names for LINK386. All definitions with the same name are ignored after the first mention.
Action: Check that the segment has been defined correctly.

name: DGROUP segment converted to type data
Explanation: A segment that is a member of DGROUP has been defined as type CODE in a module definition file or object file. This probably happened because a CLASS keyword in a SEGMENTS statement was not given.
Action: Check the module definition file syntax.

name: segment attributes changed to conform with automatic data segment
Explanation: The segment named is defined in DGROUP, but the shared attribute is in conflict with the instance attribute.
Example: The shared attribute is NONSHARED and the instance attribute is SINGLE, or the shared attribute is SHARED and the instance attribute is MULTIPLE. The bad segment is forced to have the right shared attribute and the link continues.
Action: Check that the LINK386 action is acceptable.

name: segment declared in more than one group
Explanation: A segment is declared to be a member of two different groups.
Action: Correct the source file and re-create the object files.

name: code-group size exceeds 65500 bytes
Explanation: The code group indicated is larger than 65500 bytes and therefore might not be reliable.
Action: Break the group into smaller groups or remove one or more segments and try again.

no automatic data segment
Explanation: The program or dynamic link library did not define a group named DGROUP. This is recognized by LINK386 as the automatic data segment.
Action: Edit the source file.

program has no starting address
Explanation: The program did not contain a starting address. Physical Device Drivers do not have program starting addresses, so this error can be ignored when linking Physical Device Drives.
Action: Recompile the program and try again.

CODE segment :name in DATA group:name; assuming DATA
Explanation: A CODE statement in a module definition file was used to define default attributes for a DATA segment.
Action: Define a CODE statement and relink.

name of output file is name
Explanation: A dynamic link library file was created without specifying an extension. In such cases, LINK386 supplies an extension of .DLL. This is to warn you in case you expected an .EXE file to be generated
Action: No action.

DATA segment: name in CODE group: name; assuming CODE
Explanation: A DATA statement in a module definition file was used to define default attributes for a CODE segment.
Action: Define a DATA statement and relink.

ignoring non-zero heap size
Explanation: The module definition file does not contain a HEAPSIZE statement.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

ignoring non-zero stack size
Explanation: The module definition file does not contain a STACKSIZE statement.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

filename: cannot find library
Explanation: LINK386 could not find the specified library file.
Action: Enter a new file name, a new path specification, or both.

VM.TMP :illegal file name; ignored
Explanation: VM.TMP cannot be used for an object file name.
Action: Rename the file and restart LINK386.

filename: cannot find file
Explanation: LINK386 could not find the specified file.
Action: Enter a new file name, a new path specification, or both.

changing default resolution for weak external name from oldname to newname
Explanation: LINK386 encountered a redefinition of a default resolution and is changing it to the value indicated.
Action: If the change is OK, no action is required; otherwise, fix the module definition file and try again.

ignoring stack size greater than 64K
Explanation: LINK386 encountered a stack greater than 64K or zero and is assuming a stack size of 65,534.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

filename truncated to name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered a file name greater than 256 bytes (including terminating null) and truncated it to the size indicated.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

application type not specified; assuming name
Explanation: An application type of WINDOWAPI, WINDOWCOMPAT, NOTWINDOWCOMPAT, or PRIVATE was not specified. LINK386 is assuming the application type indicated.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

changing application type from oldname to newname
Explanation: The application type specified with /PMTYPE is different from that in .DEF file. LINK386 is using the application type indicated.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

name: 32-bit aliased data segment size exceeds 64K
Explanation: The segment indicated is greater than 64K in length and is a 32-bit aliased data segment
Action: If this is expected, do nothing; if not, break into smaller segments.

attribute conflict for segment name; ignoring attribute type
Explanation: The segment indicated for the .DEF file is defined with conflicting characteristics. LINK386 is ignoring the attribute indicated.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

object type conflict - assuming name
Explanation: The .DEF files specified conflicting attributes for an object; only one of the following attributes are allowed: RESIDENT, NONPERMANENT, PERMANENT, CONTIGUOUS, or DYNAMIC. LINK386 is assuming the attribute indicated.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

symbol name not defined; ordered allocation ignored
Explanation: While doing ordered allocation of COMDAT records, LINK386 encountered an undefined COMDAT record; ordered allocation is determined from the .DEF file.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

symbol name already defined for ordered allocation; duplicate ignored
Explanation: While processing ORDER list in .DEF file, LINK386 encountered a COMDAT record already defined for ordered allocation.
Action: Edit the file and relink.

changing substitute name for alias name from name to name
Explanation: LINK386 encountered an alias redefiniton and is changing it to the values indicated.
Action: If this is OK, no action is required. Otherwise, edit the file and relink.

name ignored for module with 16-bit starting address
Explanation: LINK386 encountered a DLL module with a 16-bit entry point requesting termination. Only modules with 32-bit entry points can specify DLL termination.
Action: Remove the termination request from the module definition file.

invalid base address specification; assuming number
Explanation: The base address specified with the /BASE option or in the module definition file is illegal, and LINK386 is assuming the given value.
Action: Change the base address if necessary; otherwise, ignore the message.

module name truncated to string
Explanation: The module name was truncated to the number of characters indicated.
Action: If this action is satisfactory, no action is required. Otherwise, edit the module definition file and shorten the name.

name (alias alias name): forwarder entry created for imported export
Explanation: LINK386 created a forwarder entry within the entry table for the named export.
Action: If this action is satisfactory, no action is required.

internal fix-up applied to uninitialized area at offset in object number
Explanation: LINK386 attempted to apply an internal fix-up beyond the initialize limits of the object.
Action: If this is acceptable, no action is required. If the problem continues, you might want to disable based addressing.

cannot load identifier manipulation DLL name
Explanation: LINK386 detected an error while trying to load an identifier manipulator dynamic link library. This DLL was specified in an object file, and is used by LINK386 to demangle a compiler generated mangled name into a function prototype when printing an error message. Error messages will not be demangled for this object file.
Action: Make sure the appropriate identifier manipulator DLL is in the LIBPATH.

cannot locate procedure in identifier manipulation DLL name
Explanation: LINK386 detected an error while trying to load a procedure from an identifier manipulator dynamic link library. This DLL was specified in an object file, and is used by LINK386 to demangle a compiler generated mangled name into a function prototype when printing an error message. Error messages will not be demangled for this object file.
Action: Make sure the appropriate identifier manipulator DLL is in the LIBPATH.

too many identifier manipulation DLLs
Explanation: Too many identifier manipulator dynamic link libraries have been specified. These DLLs are specified in object files, and are used by LINK386 to demangle compiler generated mangled names into function prototypes when printing an error messages. Error messages may not be demangled for some object files.
Action: Reduce the number of different compilers used to create the objects.

cannot initialize identifier manipulation DLL name
Explanation: LINK386 detected an error while trying to initialize an identifier manipulator dynamic link library. This DLL was specified in an object file, and is used by LINK386 to demangle a compiler generated mangled name into a function prototype when printing an error message. Error messages will not be demangled for this object file.
Action: Make sure the appropriate identifier manipulator DLL is in the LIBPATH.

increasing stack size from number to number
Explanation: The stack size specified by either

1. size of a segment with combine type stack
2. STACKSIZE statement in the .DEF file
3. /STACK LINK386 command line option

will cause a system error if the program is executed on an OS/2 2.x system. LINK386 has changed the stacksize to a larger value to preserve compatibility.
Action: No action required, LINK386 has corrected the problem. To eliminate the warning message, restart LINK386 and specify the new stack size.
