BUG: BIND Error U1253 Opening DOSCALLS.LIB (81879)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FORTRAN compiler for OS/2 5.1
  • Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.1
This article was previously published under Q81879

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to create a bound executable file fails and the BIND utility produces the following message:
BIND : fatal error U1253: cannot open file : DOSCALLS.LIB

CAUSE

When the compiler command line specifies the /Fb compiler option switch to create a bound executable file, the FORTRAN compiler passes the name "DOSCALLS.LIB" to the BIND utility. The error occurs because DOSCALLS.LIB is not provided with FORTRAN version 5.1. The functions are provided in the OS2.LIB file.

RESOLUTION

To address this error, perform one of the following two steps:

  1. Copy the OS2.LIB file to the DOSCALLS.LIB file in the FORTRAN libraries directory. -or-

  2. Link the application with the appropriate protected-mode library, then explicitly call the BIND utility.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with FORTRAN version 5.1 for OS/2.

This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation.
