An attempt to link an application fails and Microsoft LINK
generates the following message:
L1027: Unmatched left/right parenthesis
CAUSE
One or more object modules contains a parenthesis in its filename.
If the object module is in the current directory, the error occurs
when either of the following conditions is true:
- If the object module has a left parenthesis as the first
character of its name and a character other than a right
parenthesis as the last character.
- If the object module has a right parenthesis as the last
character of its name and a character other than a left
parenthesis as the first character.
If the object module is not in the current directory, the error
occurs only when the second condition above is true.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in each version of
Microsoft LINK that supports overlays. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
