SYMPTOMS
When attempting to load an OS/2 Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) extension through a macro definition in the TOOLS.INI file, if the extension file does not exist, or is not in the current path, the following error message is displayed in a dialog box:

pwbhelp: SYS0123: A file name or volume label contains an incorrect character



CAUSE
This error message should indicate that the extension file could not be found; however, the message is generated by the OS/2 operating system's DLL loading code, and therefore, cannot be changed by PWB.

The following error message is generated in the MS-DOS version of PWB, which displays this message in a dialog box:

No such file or directory



RESOLUTION
To correct the problem, make sure that the directory in which the extension resides is in the current path.
