    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.

    A buddy who programs and has dabbled in PL/I stated "sounds like data corruption" or "a LINK version mismatched to that LIB file".

    What linker and librarian? Can you disassemble the lib into it's components? Dave

    Sorry for the non-reply. I clicked off the group and forgot to mark the messages unread. It looks like the library is corrupt.

    I tried recopying it from the CD image, and still have the problem. I'm
    not sure I ever used this version of PL/I:
    5639-D65 IBM(R) VisualAge(TM) PL/I for OS/2(R) V2.R1.00
    Copyright (C) IBM Corporation 1992,1998 With lick I may have an older
    version that I know works.

    Here's the information:

    I have three versions of LINK386 on my system:
    C:\TOOLKIT\BIN\LINK386.EXE Version 4.00.000 Oct 15 1996 C:\IBMPLI\BIN\LINK386.EXE Version 4.00.000 Mar 12 1997
    C:\OS2\LINK386.EXE Version 4.00.001 Sep 24 2001

    9-08-99 10:00a 53,399 252 a--r IBMOS20I.LIB

    I'm using the command supplied with IBM PL/I.
    Tried with each version of Link386.
    <each of above>\link386.exe testuns.obj /pm:vio /noe /co /sta 00000,,load.map,ceelink +ibmlink;

    Dave, I used to be anOS/2 guru years ago, but I’ve forgotten most of it by now. What would I use to disassemble the library? I didn’t see anything
    from the toolkit. I have Watcom and emx also.

    Have you got LIB.EXE or ILIB.EXE or similar?

    What are the executable dates? That will give me an idea whether the
    distro is from the CSet era or the VAC era.

    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"

    You can do a rough verifcation of the library with:

    ilib /listlevel:1 C:\IBMPLI\LIB\IBMOS20I.LIB ,con

    If PL/I is sufficiently old, this will be lib rather than ilib, but
    the syntax should be similar.

    Hi Peter,

    FWIW, there's a PL/I demo on DevCon V12. It contains a copy of the
    lib which identifies itself as:

    8-22-96 13:24 40,629 0 IBMOS20I.LIB

    1cbb05bb75eadc03a69a5ad8c5a6dda6 *IBMOS20I.LIB

    This PL/I ships with ilink and ilib, so I would check your makefile
    and verify which linker you should be using.

    Thanks, Paul. I need to get back into a lot of this. the ilib listing is at:
    http://teampli.net/ilib.IBMOS20I
    Looks OK to me. It appears perhaps my config.sys isn't including the appropriate message directory.

    I was going to try to delete this version of PL/I and re-install 1.1,
    but I can't find the correct install CD, so all I managed to do is
    delete the new version and had to restore from a backup, so things are a
    bit screwy right now.
