FIXUP_IMAGE V2.0 for OpenVMS

 

The FIXUP_IMAGE utility edits an image's shareable information to allow that image to execute on an earlier version of VMS.

 

FIXUP_IMAGE can edit the shareable image information in an executable image file. This can be used to avoid the dreaded:

%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image VAXCRTL
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]VAXCRTL.EXE
-SYSTEM-F-SHRIDMISMAT, ident mismatch with shareable image

In some cases, it can also remove extraneous references to shareables that do not exist on the current system. For example, it can remove this message which can occur when you try to run an image linked under VMS V6 or later on a VMS V5 system:

%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image CMA$TIS_SHR
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found
DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]CMA$TIS_SHR.EXE;

FIXUP_IMAGE V2.0 only supports VAX executables.
