Number | LINK Error Message |
L1001 | option : option name ambiguous |
A unique option name did not appear after the option indicator. | |
An option is specified by a forward-slash indicator (/) and a name. The name can be specified by an abbreviation of the full name, but the abbreviation must be unambiguous. | |
For example, many options begin with the letter N, so the following command causes this error:
LINK /N main; |
|
L1003 | /Q and /EXEPACK incompatible |
LINK cannot be given both the /Q option and the /EXEPACK option. | |
L1004 | value : invalid numeric value |
An incorrect value appeared for a LINK option. For example, this error occurs when a character string is specified with an option that requires a numeric value. | |
L1005 | option : packing limit exceeds 64K |
The value specified with the /PACKC or /PACKD option exceeded the limit of 65,536 bytes. | |
L1006 | number : stack size exceeds 64K-1 |
The value given as a parameter to the /STACK option exceeded the allowed maximum of 65,535 bytes. | |
L1007 | /OVERLAYINTERRUPT : interrupt number exceeds 255 |
An overlay interrupt number greater than 255 was specified with the /OV option value. | |
Check the DOS Technical Reference or other DOS technical manual for information about interrupts. | |
L1008 | /SEGMENTS : segment limit set too high |
The /SEG option was specified with a limit on the number of definitions of logical segments that was impossible to satisfy. | |
L1009 | value : /CPARM : illegal value |
The value specified with the /CPARM option was not in the range 1–65,535. | |
L1020 | no object modules specified |
No object-file names were specified to the linker. | |
L1021 | cannot nest response files |
A response file occurred within a response file. | |
L1022 | response line too long |
A line in a response file was longer than 255 characters. | |
L1023 | terminated by user |
CTRL+C was entered. | |
L1024 | nested right parentheses |
The contents of an overlay were typed incorrectly on the command line. | |
L1025 | nested left parentheses |
The contents of an overlay were typed incorrectly on the command line. | |
L1026 | unmatched right parenthesis |
A right parenthesis was missing from the contents specification of an overlay on the command line. | |
L1027 | unmatched left parenthesis |
A left parenthesis was missing from the contents specification of an overlay on the command line. | |
L1030 | missing internal name |
An IMPORTS statement specified an ordinal in the module-definition file without including the internal name of the routine. | |
The name must be given if the import is by ordinal. | |
L1031 | module description redefined |
A DESCRIPTION statement in the module-definition file was specified more than once. | |
L1032 | module name redefined |
The module name was specified more than once (in a NAME or LIBRARY statement). | |
L1040 | too many exported entries |
The program exceeded the limit of 65,535 exported names. | |
L1041 | resident names table overflow |
The size of the resident names table exceeded 65,535 bytes. | |
An entry in the resident names table is made for each exported routine designated RESIDENTNAME and consists of the name plus three bytes of information. The first entry is the module name. | |
Reduce the number of exported routines or change some to nonresident status. | |
L1042 | nonresident names table overflow |
The size of the nonresident names table exceeded 65,535 bytes. | |
An entry in the nonresident names table is made for each exported routine not designated RESIDENTNAME and consists of the name plus three bytes of information. The first entry is the DESCRIPTION statement. | |
Reduce the number of exported routines or change some to resident status. | |
L1043 | relocation table overflow |
More than 32,768 long calls, long jumps, or other long pointers appeared in the program. | |
Try replacing long references with short references where possible. | |
L1044 | imported names table overflow |
The size of the imported names table exceeds 65,535 bytes. | |
An entry in the imported names table is made for each new name given in the IMPORTS section, including the module names, and consists of the name plus one byte. | |
Reduce the number of imports. | |
L1045 | too many TYPDEF records |
An object module contained more than 255 TYPDEF records. These records describe communal variables. | |
This error can appear only with programs produced by the Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler or other compilers that support communal variables. (TYPDEF is a DOS term. It is explained in the Microsoft MS-DOS Programmer's Reference and in other reference books on DOS.) | |
L1046 | too many external symbols in one module |
An object module specified more than the limit of 1,023 external symbols. | |
Break the module into smaller parts. | |
L1047 | too many group, segment, and class names in one module |
The program contained too many group, segment, and class names. | |
Reduce the number of groups, segments, or classes. Re-create the object file. | |
L1048 | too many segments in one module |
An object module had more than 255 segments. | |
Split the module or combine segments. | |
L1049 | too many segments |
The program had more than the maximum number of segments. | |
Use the /SEG option when linking to specify the maximum legal number of segments. The range of valid settings is 0–3,072. The default is 128. | |
L1050 | too many groups in one module |
LINK encountered more than 21 group definitions (GRPDEF) in a single module. | |
Reduce the number of group definitions or split the module. (Group definitions are explained in the Microsoft MS-DOS Programmer's Reference and in other reference books on DOS.) | |
L1051 | too many groups |
The program defined more than 20 groups, not counting DGROUP. | |
Reduce the number of groups. | |
L1052 | too many libraries |
An attempt was made to link with more than 32 libraries. | |
Combine libraries, or use modules that require fewer libraries. | |
L1053 | out of memory for symbol table |
The program had more symbolic information (such as public, external, segment, group, class, and file names) than could fit in available memory. | |
Try freeing memory by linking from the DOS command level instead of from a MAKE file or an editor. Otherwise, combine modules or segments and try to eliminate as many public symbols as possible. | |
L1054 | requested segment limit too high |
LINK did not have enough memory to allocate tables describing the number of segments requested. The number of segments is the default of 128 or the value specified with the /SEG option. | |
Try linking again by using the /SEG option to select a smaller number of segments (for example, use 64 if the default was used previously), or free some memory by eliminating resident programs or shells. | |
L1056 | too many overlays |
The program defined more than 63 overlays. | |
L1057 | data record too large |
An LEDATA record (in an object module) contained more than 1,024 bytes of data. This is a translator error. (LEDATA is a DOS term explained in the Microsoft MS-DOS Programmer's Reference and in other DOS reference books.) | |
Note which translator (compiler or assembler) produced the incorrect object module. Please report the circumstances of the error to Microsoft Corporation by following the instructions on the Microsoft Product Assistance Request form at the back of one of your manuals. | |
L1061 | out of memory for /INCR |
LINK ran out of memory when trying to process the additional information required for ILINK support. | |
Disable incremental linking. | |
L1062 | too many symbols for /INCR |
The program had more symbols than can be stored in the .SYM file. | |
Reduce the number of symbols or disable incremental linking. | |
L1063 | out of memory for CodeView information |
LINK was given too many object files with debug information, and it ran out of space to store them. | |
Reduce the number of object files that have full debug information by compiling some files with either /Zd instead of /Zi or no CodeView option at all. | |
L1064 | out of memory—near/far heap exhausted |
LINK was not able to allocate enough memory for the given heap. | |
One of the following may be a solution:
Under OS/2, increase the swap space. Reduce the size of code, data, and symbols in the program. Under OS/2, split the program into dynamic-link libraries. |
|
L1070 | segment : segment size exceeds 64K |
A single segment contained more than 64K of code or data. | |
Try changing the memory model to use far code or data as appropriate. If the program is in C, use CL's /NT option or the #pragma alloc_text to build smaller segments. | |
L1071 | segment _TEXT exceeds 64K – 16 |
This error is likely to occur only in small-model C programs, but it can occur when any program with a segment named _TEXT is linked using the /DOSSEG option of the LINK command. | |
Small-model C programs must reserve code addresses 0 and 1; this range is increased to 16 for alignment purposes. | |
Try compiling and linking using the medium or large model. If the program is in C, use CL's /NT option or the #pragma alloc_text to build smaller segments. | |
L1072 | common area exceeds 64K |
The program had more than 65,536 bytes of communal variables. This error occurs only with programs produced by the Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler or other compilers that support communal variables. | |
L1073 | file-segment limit exceeded |
The number of physical or file segments exceeded the limit of 255 imposed by OS/2 protected mode and by Windows for each application or dynamic-link library. | |
A file segment is created for each group definition, nonpacked logical segment, and set of packed segments. | |
Reduce the number of segments, or put more information into each segment. Use the /PACKC option or the /PACKD option or both. | |
L1074 | group : group exceeds 64K |
The given group exceeds the limit of 65,536 bytes. | |
Reduce the size of the group, or remove any unneeded segments from the group. Refer to the map file for a listing of segments. | |
L1075 | entry table exceeds 64K – 1 |
The entry table exceeded the limit of 65,535 bytes. | |
There is an entry in this table for each exported routine. The table also includes an entry for each address that is the target of a far relocation, when one of the following conditions is true:
The target segment is designated IOPL (specific to OS/2). PROTMODE is not enabled and the target segment is designated MOVABLE (specific to Windows). |
|
Declare PROTMODE if applicable, or reduce the number of exported routines, or make some segments FIXED or NOIOPL if possible. | |
L1078 | file-segment alignment too small |
The segment-alignment size specified with the /ALIGN option was too small. | |
L1080 | cannot open list file |
The disk or the root directory was full. | |
Delete or move files to make space. | |
L1081 | out of space for run file |
The disk on which the executable file was being written became full. Free more space on the disk and restart LINK. | |
L1082 | filename : stub file not found |
LINK could not open the file given in the STUB statement in the module-definition file. | |
The file must be in the current directory or in a directory specified by the PATH environment variable. | |
L1083 | cannot open run file |
One of the following may have occurred:
The disk or the root directory was full. Another process opened or deleted the file. A read-only file existed with the same name. The floppy disk containing the file was removed. A hard-disk error occurred. |
|
L1084 | cannot create temporary file |
One of the following may have occurred:
The disk or the root directory was full. The directory specified in the TMP environment variable did not exist. |
|
L1085 | cannot open temporary file |
One of the following may have occurred:
The disk or the root directory was full. The directory specified in the TMP environment variable did not exist. |
|
L1086 | scratch file missing |
An internal error has occurred. | |
Note the circumstances of the error and notify Microsoft Corporation by following the instructions on the Microsoft Product Assistance Request form at the back of one of your manuals. | |
L1087 | unexpected end-of-file on scratch file |
The disk with the temporary linker-output file was removed. | |
L1088 | out of space for list file |
The disk where the listing file was being written is full. | |
Free more space on the disk and restart LINK. | |
L1089 | filename : cannot open response file |
LINK could not find the specified response file. | |
Check that the name of the response file is spelled correctly. | |
L1090 | cannot reopen list file |
The original floppy disk was not replaced at the prompt. | |
Restart the link session. | |
L1091 | unexpected end-of-file on library |
The floppy disk containing the library was probably removed. | |
Replace the disk containing the library and run LINK again. | |
L1092 | cannot open module-definition file |
LINK could not open the module-definition file specified on the command line or in the response file. | |
L1093 | filename : object not found |
LINK could not find the given object file. | |
Check the specification of the object file. | |
L1094 | filename : cannot open file for writing |
LINK was unable to open the file with write permission. | |
Check file permissions. | |
L1095 | filename : out of space on file |
LINK ran out of disk space for the specified output file. | |
Delete or move files to make space. | |
L1100 | stub .EXE file invalid |
The file specified in the STUB statement is not a valid real-mode executable file. | |
L1101 | invalid object module |
One of the object modules was invalid. | |
Check that the correct version of LINK is being used. | |
If the error persists after recompiling, note the circumstances of the error and notify Microsoft Corporation by following the instructions on the Microsoft Product Assistance Request form at the back of one of your manuals. | |
L1102 | unexpected end-of-file |
An invalid format for a library was encountered. | |
L1103 | attempt to access data outside segment bounds |
A data record in an object module specified data extending beyond the end of a segment. This is a translator error. | |
Note which translator (compiler or assembler) produced the incorrect object module and the circumstances in which it was produced. Please report this error to Microsoft Corporation by following the instructions on the Microsoft Product Assistance Request form at the back of one of your manuals. | |
L1104 | filename : invalid library |
The specified file was not a valid library file. | |
L1105 | invalid object due to aborted incremental compile |
Delete the object file, recompile the program, and relink. | |
L1113 | unresolved COMDEF; internal error |
Note the circumstances of the error and notify Microsoft Corporation by following the instructions on the Microsoft Product Assistance Request form at the back of one of your manuals. | |
L1115 | option : option incompatible with overlays |
The given option is not compatible with overlays. | |
Remove the option, or do not use overlaid modules. | |
L1116 | /EXEPACK valid only for OS/2 and real-mode DOS |
The /EXEPACK option is incompatible with Windows programs. | |
L1123 | segment : segment defined both 16-bit and 32-bit |
Define the segment as either 16-bit or 32-bit. | |
L1126 | conflicting pwords value |
An exported name was specified in the module-definition file with an IOPL-parameter-words (pwords) value, and the same name was specified as an export by the Microsoft C export pragma with a different pwords value. | |
L1127 | far segment references not allowed with /TINY |
The /TINY option for producing a .COM file was used in a program that has a far segment reference. | |
Far segment references are not compatible with the .COM-file format. High-level-language programs cause this error unless the language supports the tiny memory model. An assembly-language program that references a segment address also causes this error. | |
For example:
mov ax, seg mydata |
