Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
Good morning everyone!
My name is Paulo
I'm working on a migration from OpenVMS Alpha to OpenVMS Itanium.
I'm recompiling some programs in macro language Alpha to Itanium.
When I run the compile command MACRO / MIGRATION the code below
*****************************************************
.TITLE sharescr Transfer Vector for SCRSHR
.IDENT /1-03/
.PSECT $TRANS,EXE,NOWRT,PIC,SHR,GBL
.MACRO TRANS Module_name
.TRANSFER Module_name
.MASK Module_name
JMP L^Module_name+2
.ENDM TRANS
TRANS SCR_PUT_MSG_BOTTOM
TRANS SCR_LOAD_FORM
*****************************************************
I get the following error message
*****************************************************
%IMAC-W-DIRTRANS, (1) .TRANSFER directive is not supported
-IMAC-I-ATEXPLINE, at macro expansion line 1
.TRANSFER SCR_PUT_MSG_BOTTOM
%IMAC-E-DIRMASK, (1) .MASK directive is not supported
-IMAC-I-ATEXPLINE, at macro expansion line 2
.MASK SCR_PUT_MSG_BOTTOM
%IMAC-E-BLKEXPNABS, (1) block expression not absolute
-IMAC-I-ATEXPLINE, at macro expansion line 2
.MASK SCR_PUT_MSG_BOTTOM
0000000C 13 TRANS SCR_LOAD_FORM
*****************************************************
I am using the following versions of operating system and compiler macro
Version of OpemVms AlphaVms Alpha VMS version V7.3
Language Macro Alpha version AMAC V4.1-18-3381U
Version of OpemVms AlphaVms Itanium VMS version V8.4
Language Macro Alpha version IMAC V5.0-120-5
I am Cobol developer and do not know the macro language,
but I have some sources in Macro should I migrate also
I'm looking in the manual but can not find the solution.
can someone tell me how to fix this.
Thanks a lot

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
ACCORDING TO INTEGRITY OpenVMS help:
DIRMASK, .MASK directive is not supported
Facility: AMAC, MACRO-32 Compiler for OpenVMS Alpha
Explanation: The compiler detected use of the .MASK directive, which is
used with .TRANSFER on OpenVMS VAX systems. Transfer vectors
are not supported on OpenVMS Alpha systems.
User Action: Remove the transfer vector from the code. In its place,
specify a linker options file that includes the SYMBOL_VECTOR
statement when you link the object file.

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
Additionally:
DIRTRANS, .TRANSFER directive is not supported
Facility: AMAC, MACRO-32 Compiler for OpenVMS Alpha
Explanation: A .TRANSFER directive was found. Transfer vectors are not
supported on OpenVMS Alpha systems.
User Action: Remove the transfer vector from the code. In its place,
specify a linker options file that includes the SYMBOL_VECTOR
statement when you link the object file.
=============================================================
BLKEXPNABS, block expression not absolute
Facility: MACRO, VAX MACRO Assembler
Explanation: The expression specifying the amount of storage to be
allocated in a .BLKA, .BLKB, .BLKD, .BLKF., .BLKG, .BLKH,
.BLKO, .BLKQ, or .BLKW directive contains an undefined symbol
or is a relative expression.
User Action: Replace the expression with an absolute expression that does
not contain any undefined symbols.

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
I have requested more info from the poster directly and will update this with a more generic response that describes the differences.

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
>>> Given the information posted, I think that either the port is from Vax to Itanium, or that the transfer file being referenced is an old one not used for the Alpha.
or there are conditionals (in the code, in the build procedures) checking for Alpha and assuming VAX otherwise.

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
Hello thank you all for responding!
But migration is a DEC Alpha 64-bit server for HP OpenVMS OpenVms 64bit Intel Itanium Server.
I'm not working with a Vax32 server.
Thank you all for the help

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
Do NOT port that module... toss it.
Do NOT use MACRO/MIGRATE
Do you have any clue what this job is about, or why it was assigned to you?
Do read the manuals, notably the linker manual

Good luck!

Re: Migration from Macro OpenVms Alpha to Macro OpenVms Itanium
Those are shareable image transfer vectors, and that Macro32 module is unnecesary on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64; Macro32 transfer vectors are not used on Alpha or Itanium.
Please see <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/163> for details on constructing a shareable image, as well as some DCL that allows a common source for both Macro32 transfer vectors as well as the linker options file used on later architectures.
