APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When the executable file created by the linker is larger
    than 4 GB, and
    it is on a remote file system, it comes out badly
    truncated.  When
    built on a local file system, it come out correctly.
    For illustration: on a local system, size is 4303640816
    bytes.  On a
    remote file system, the size is 8673622 bytes.
    Furthermore, the
    linker/binder give no indication of error, in the form of
    either a
    diagnostic or a error return code.
    
    truss data:
    17826156:       61276417: lseek(14, 4301628140, 0)
          =
    4301628140
    2517826156:       61276417: kwrite(14, "\0", 1)
            = 1
    17826156:       61276417: shmdt(0x07F0000000000000)
          = 0
    17826156:       61276417: shmat(14, 0x07F0000000000000,
    2048)   =
    0x07F0000000000000
    17826156:       61276417: ftruncate(10, 0)
          = 0
    17826156:       61276417: kwrite(10, "01  \0\n R16 j 59C
    I7F  "..,
    6660840) = 6660840       <<<<  wrong size
    

Local fix

  • Create executable on local filesystem instead of remote
    filesystem
    

Problem summary

  • Linker fails to create a file which is more than 4GB
    size on a remote file system.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Changed the data types to accommodate the bigger size.
    

Temporary fix
