APPENDIX B
LINK MESSAGES
This appendix lists all of LINK's messages. (The messages from the
Overlay Handler, which have the OVL prefix, are given in Chapter 5.)
B.1 DESCRIPTION OF MESSAGES
Section B.2 lists LINK's messages. For each message, the last three
letters of the 6-letter code, the level, the severity, and its
medium-length message are given in boldface. Then, in lightface type,
comes the long message.
When a message is issued, the three letters are suffixed to the
letters LNK, forming a 6-letter code of the form LNKxxx.
The level of a message determines whether it will be issued to the
terminal, the log file, or both. You can use the /ERRORLEVEL and
/LOGLEVEL switches to control message output. For some messages an
asterisk (*) is given for the level or severity. This means that the
value is variable, and depends on the conditions that generated the
message.
The severity of a message determines whether the load will be
terminated when the message is issued. Table B-1 lists the severity
codes used in LINK, along with their meanings. The /SEVERITY switch
provides a means for lowering the severity that is considered fatal.
The severity also determines the first character on the message line
printed to the terminal. This character can then be detected with
Batch's error facility. For all informational messages, the character
is [. Warnings use %, and fatal errors use ?.
B-1
LINK MESSAGES
Table B-1
Severity codes
Code Meaning
1-7 Informational; messages of this severity generally
indicate LINK's progress through the load.
8-15 Warning; LINK is able to recover by itself and continue
the load.
16 Warning if timesharing, but fatal and stops the load if
batch.
20 Fatal; LINK can only partially recover and continue the
load. The loaded program may be incorrect. Undefined
symbols cause this action.
24 This is for file access errors. Under batch, this is
fatal and stops the load. Under timesharing, this is a
warning, and LINK prompts for the correct file
specification if possible.
31 Always fatal; LINK stops the load.
The /VERBOSITY switch determines whether the medium-length and long
messages are issued. If you use /VERBOS:SHORT, only the 6-letter
code, the level, and the severity are issued. If you use
/VERBOS:MEDIUM, the medium-length message is also issued. If you use
/VERBOS:LONG, the code, level, severity, medium-length message, and
long message are issued.
Those portions of the medium-length messages enclosed in braces ({ and
}) are optional, and are only printed in appropriate circumstances.
Those portions of the medium-length messages enclosed in square
brackets are filled in at run-time with values pertinent to the
particular error. Table B-2 describes each of these bracketed
quantities.

LINK MESSAGES
Table B-2
Special Message Segments
[area] The name of one of LINK's internal memory management
areas.
[date] The date on which LINK was run.
[decimal] A decimal number, such as a node number.
[device] A device name.
[file] A file specification.
[label] An internal label in LINK.
[memory] A memory size, such as 17P.
[name] The name of the loaded program or a node in an
overlaid program.
[octal] An octal number, such as a symbol value.
[reason] The reason for a file access failure, one of the
messages from Table B-3.
[switch] The name of a switch associated with the error.
[symbol] The name of a symbol, such as a subroutine or common
block name.
[type] The type or attributes associated with a symbol.
Whenever possible, LINK attempts to indicate the module and file
associated with an error. This information represents the module
currently being processed by LINK, and may not always be the actual
module containing the error. For instance, if LINK detects a
multiply-defined symbol, either value may be the incorrect one. In
this case, LINK reports only the second (and subsequent) redefinition
and the module containing it.

LINK MESSAGES
Code Lev Sev Message
ABT 31 31 Load aborted due to %LNKTMA errors, max. /ARSIZE:
needed was [decimal]
You loaded programs containing more ambiguous
subroutine requests than can fit in the tables of one
or more overlay links. You received a LNKARL message
for each ambiguous request, and a LNKTMA message for
each link with too many requests. You can solve this
problem in either of two ways. One is to use the
/ARSIZE switch before the /OVERLAY switch, thus
expanding all the tables. The other is to use the
/ARSIZE switch just before each /LINK switch to
expand the tables separately.
AIC 31 31 Attempt to increase size of {blank common} {common
[symbol]} from [decimal] to [decimal]
{Detected in module [symbol] from file [file]}
FORTRAN common areas cannot be expanded once defined.
Either load the module with the largest definition
first, or use the /COMMON: switch to reserve the
needed space.
AMP 8 8 ALGOL main program not loaded
You loaded ALGOL procedures, but no main program.
The missing start address and undefined symbols will
terminate execution.
ANM 31 31 Address not in memory
LINK expected a particular user address to be in
memory, but it is not there. This is an internal
LINK error. This message is not expected to occur.
If it does, please notify your Software Specialist or
send a Software Performance Report (SPR) to DIGITAL.
ARL 8 8 Ambiguous request in link [decimal] {name [name]} for
[symbol] defined in links [decimal], [decimal], ...
More than one successor link can satisfy a call from
an ancestor link. The ancestor link requests an
entry point that is contained in two or more of its
successors. You should revise your overlay structure
to remove the ambiguity.
If you execute the current load, one of the following
will occur when the ambiguous call is executed:
1. If only one module satisfying the request is in
B-4
LINK MESSAGES
Code Lev Sev Message
memory, that module will be called.
2. If two or more modules satisfying the request are
in memory, the one with the most links of its path in
memory will be called.
3. If no modules satisfying the request are in
memory, the one with the most links of its path in
memory will be called.
If a module cannot be selected by the methods 2 or 3
above, one of the modules will be called at random.
AZW 31 31 Allocating zero words
LINK's memory manager was called with a request for 0
words. This is an internal LINK error. This message
is not expected to occur. If it does, please notify
your Software Specialist or send a Software
Performance Report (SPR) to DIGITAL.
B4R 8 8 Bad F40 produced REL file
{Detected in module [symbol] from file [file]}
Either the compiler produced incorrect code or the
.REL file was incorrectly modified. Two possible
causes for the error are: a table is too long (more
than 218 words); or a table that should have paired
words has an odd length. LNKB4R is usually followed
by a fatal error.
CCD 31 31 CPU conflict
{Detected in module [symbol] from file [file]}
You have loaded modules compiled with conflicting CPU
specifications, such as loading a MACRO program
compiled with the statement .DIRECTIVE KA10 and
another compiled with .DIRECTIVE KI10. Recompile the
affected modules with compatible CPU specifications.
CLF 1 1 Closing log file, continuing on file [file]
You have changed the log file specification. The old
log file is closed; further log entries are written
in the new log file.
