• PL/I for OS/2 problem

    From Iron Spring Software@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 29 14:26:28 2020
    This is a long shot, I know. I don't know if anyone is using this.
    PL/I V2.R1.00, ArcaOS (sorry, can't find release)
    When I try to link a compiled PL/I program I get the following message:
    "fatal error L1104: C:\IBMPLI\LIB\IBMOS20I.LIB : not valid library"
    I don't use IBM PL/I often, when I went to do something recently I got
    this error. I thought the file may have been corrupted so I reinstalled
    from the CD, but I'm still getting the same problem.

    .
    Did you use the correct link command,
    LINK386
    with STACK option?
    This is what I used:
    LINK386 objectfile /STACK:6000000 /CO;

    If you have the possibility to use a 32 bit Linux machine,
    what I am using, then you may install VA PL/I for Windows
    with wine (Win XP by default in my XUBUNTU). You may
    find the details in groups.io/g/pl1f-and-mvs38j/message/308.

    compile> $ wine pli file.PLI \(options\)
    link> $ wine ilink file.OBJ
    $ wine file.EXE

    PS a virtual 32 bit Win XP could also do it, but I did not try.
