Compiled, CHAIN, "Illegal Function Call" Using LIBRARY (31933)
This article was previously published under Q31933
SUMMARY
When you CHAIN from one compiled program that uses the LIBRARY
statement to a second compiled program, there is a case in which you
get an "Illegal Function Call" when the same CHAIN works correctly in
the interpreted version.
Within the interpreter, library routines opened with a LIBRARY
statement are preserved across a CHAIN (unless you perform a LIBRARY
CLOSE statement).
Unlike in the interpreter, the resource fork is always closed across a
CHAIN in compiled programs. For compiled programs, the CHAINed program
has to reinvoke the LIBRARY statement; otherwise, an "Illegal Function
Call" (error 5) is generated when a routine from a LIBRARY file is
invoked.
