MASM Linker Err Msg: L1083: Cannot Open Run File Under OS/2

ID Number: Q49322

5.10a

OS/2

Summary:

When linking a Macro Assembler program that is currently running in

another session, the linker returns the following error:

L1083 CANNOT OPEN RUN FILE

This error disappears when the program that is running is closed.

This error occurs because OS/2 may want to discard the program's code

segment and reload it later. If the linker writes a new EXE file and

OS/2 reloads the code segment, it will be different and cause the

accompanying problems.
