Large Number of CALLs Generates “Invalid Object Module” Error

1.10 MS-DOS

Summary: Problem: A program that contains a large number of CALL statements (usually more than 1200) generates an “Invalid Object Module” error message. The exact number of CALL statements required to generate the invalid code is determined by the additional features the program requires, e.g. numeric edit, alphanumeric edit, ISAM, etc.. To work around this problem, reduce the number of CALLs in the program by breaking the program down into smaller CALLed subprograms. This is a known problem in Version 1.1. This problem was corrected in Version 1.12.
