BUG: BIND Error U1253 Opening DOSCALLS.LIB

 Last reviewed: July 11, 1995
Article ID: Q81879
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS and OS/2, version 5.1

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.
