FIX: PWB 1.0 Requires Decimal Value for Stack Size LINK Option

ID: Q61871

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS, version 1.0
Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2, version 1.0

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.
