316.0. "No relocation address?" by MDR292::WALL (I see the middle kingdom...) Mon Sep 22 1986 14:28

    Another idiot question, this time for a friend of mine.
    
    What is VMS trying to tell you when a LINK command complains about
    the absence of a relocation address?  The person who asked me this
    claims it isn't in the VMS 4.x doc set.  There isn't anything
    complicated going on in this program -- it's a very simple
    get-it-and-add-it-and-put-it-back MACRO routine.
    
    I know what the error message means in plain English, but I was
    wondering what sort of condition induces this message.
           
    The problem occurs intermittently, and the only cure dicovered to
    date is to log out and try again later.

316.1	It is always a mistake to create a factless theory	TLE::BRETT		`Mon Sep 22 1986 17:38`	7
	Please put the EXACT text of ALL the messages in here. I have found the number of incorrectly approximated messages, and ignored secondary messages, to be (a) truely horrendous, and (b) ussually the source of 90% of the confusion. /Bevin
316.2	I agree!!!!!!!!	FROST::HARRIMAN	DEC 41-BLANK-03, Harriman,Paul J., qty 1	`Wed Sep 24 1986 16:16`	11
	Re: -1 Amen! As a technical support resource, it is most frustrating when someone comes and says "it doesn't work", you can't make it break, and they can't give you more information. Full error messages in the right order (or a session list) usually give most help-type-people all they need to know. /pjh
316.3	Main routine?	DSSDEV::ALDEN	Ken Alden	`Wed Sep 24 1986 18:05`	1
	I would guess you don't have a main routine defined...
316.4	Sounds Like No Main	KIRK::NORTON		`Thu Sep 25 1986 20:00`	14
	I second 316.3 < Note 316.3 by DSSDEV::ALDEN "Ken Alden" > -< Main routine? >- < I would guess you don't have a main routine defined...> At least it's a good place to look. Charles McKinley Norton BASEWAY Development Engineering MLO5-2/E50 Pole 36A 223-3590
316.5	is it bigger than a breadbox?	CLT::GILBERT	eager like a child	`Fri Sep 26 1986 02:54`	3
	Did the message look like ... %LINK-W-USRTFR, image <file-spec> has no user transfer address
316.6	I'm working on it, I'm working on it...	MDR292::WALL	I see the middle kingdom...	`Fri Sep 26 1986 14:54`	6
	Thanks for the offers. Beleive me, I know all about getting the exact message text. I'm still trying to run it down. The problem occurs so sporadically, it's hard to catch.... Dave W.
