Hi,
I've a customer using OpenVMS v6.2 Alpha.
He's trying to link a suite of programs & is having trouble.
If he links a single object file, it doesn't complain.
If he links with an object file & library like:-
$ link the_object,util/lib
He gets:-
rms-?-fnd,... directory not found sys$sysdevice:[res.apps.g94] ...
(I think there was another message indicating it was looking for an
object library called the_object).
I've no real idea what further to look for.
When he links, he is at a default directory res:[res.apps.g94] so it's
like it takes his directory path & stuffs it on sys$sysdevice.
The logical res is system, exec, concealed no alias & translates to
disk03, which in turn becomes dka300, (not sure what attributes).
He's tryed using physical file path names without success.
Also tryed setting default to the device name rather than logical, &
show def seemed to ignore the logical.
(By the way util is a logical also don't know what like through).
He has some kind of large script which he's using.
Thanks for any suggestions on what I can go for next,
Steve.

We need the full LINK command, any and all options files used, the
full error message text, and a SHOW LOGICAL/FULL of any logical names
in use, and a DIRECTORY showing all input object modules, libraries,
or shareable images... (We also need a SHOW LOGICAL of any filenames
used as LINKER input, filenames that lack any logical logical name
prefix -- "the_object" would be one such filename that would be
translated as a logical name, in the case shown.)

I think you'll find that the logical name 'util' is the cause of this.
I'll bet it translates to 'sys$sysdevice'.
Change the link to: $ link the_object,util.olb/lib
If I'm right, that'll fix it.
