FIX: PWB 1.0 Requires Decimal Value for Stack Size LINK Option (61871)
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.0
This article was previously published under Q61871 SYMPTOMS
In the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.0, there is a problem
with changing a program's stack size in some situations. When
specifying the stack size in the Link Options dialog box (from the
Options menu), you must enter the value in the form of a decimal
integer. Although the Help menu tells you this field accepts positive
integers in octal and hexadecimal form, PWB 1.00 will not accept them.
CAUSE
When an octal or hexadecimal value is entered in the stack-size field,
any digits specified as A-F are discarded and replaced by 0 (zero). If
digits precede a letter, the digits are retained and the letters are
discarded.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB version 1.0. This
problem was corrected in PWB version 1.1.
