With VMS version 7.0 (and later) there are several implementations for localtime. To have backward compatibility with V6.x versions one has to define the macro _VMS_V6_SOURCE. Unfortunately my partner didn't. Now he tries to link the under V7.1 compiled objects on a V6.2 system. The linker complains that 2 symbols are undefined: DECC$__UTCTZ_LOCALTIME, DECC$__UTC_TIME. It seems that only one source calls localtime. Is it enough to re-compile just this source or are there other backward incompatibilites (i.e. do they have to re-compile all their sources)? Thanks, Hartmut

The proper way to do this is to compile using
/DEFINE=__VMS_VER=60200000
By the undefined globals, both time() and localtime() are being called
from the source. If I were doing this, I would look at the list of
modules which the linker (on 6.2) says are making these references and
recompile at least that set of modules.
