Much of the time the line number is set to point to just before the next line that the compiler sees that generates code or data. You have to read backwards skipping all non-code or data generating pre-processor statements. I am noticing that in 5.8.6, EXTERN.H and INTERN.H have different definitions for EXTCONST that might produce that type of error message if they got mixed. At the moment I can not think of an DECC ANSI acceptable syntax to replace this usage of globalref/globaldef. In ANSI mode, I think that specifying the psect name requires a #pragma which needs to be on it's own line, but I would have to look that up to be sure. Also, check to see if the symbol "readonly" is being defined to something else, as I have encountered that as a problem on other open source products. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Opinion Only
