Inconsistent Error Attempting to Load Nonexistent Extension

ID Number: Q67777

OS/2

Summary:

When attempting to load an OS/2 Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) extension

through a macro definition in the TOOLS.INI file, if the extension

file does not exist, or is not in the current path, the following

error message is displayed in a dialog box:

pwbhelp: SYS0123: A file name or volume label contains an

incorrect character

More Information:

This error message should indicate that the extension file could not

be found; however, the message is generated by the OS/2 operating

system's DLL loading code, and therefore, cannot be changed by PWB.

The following error message is generated in the DOS version of PWB,

which displays this message in a dialog box:

No such file or directory

To correct the problem, make sure that the directory in which the

extension resides is in the current path.
