12 ar Diagnostic Messages
The ar utility produces messages when errors occur in command input or in data on 
which the utility is operating. The following messages are in alphabetic order.
Cause. The maximum size of an archive file is 128,073,728 bytes. If operations on the 
archive file cause the file to exceed that size limit, the ar command returns an error 
message and the archive file becomes corrupted because ar cannot create the 
symbol table information.
Recovery. See the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.

Recovery. See the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.
Cause. This is an advisory message. Object files for the NonStop servers are linked 
together using the linking program Binder. TNS/R object files are linked together using 
the linking utility nld. ar attempts to build a symbol table for the archive so that the 
linking program can know the archive contents. A different symbol table is required for 
each linking program, so ar cannot build a single symbol table when both types of 
object files are represented in the archive. If the archive is not to be used for linking, no 
action is required. The archive contains all the members specified.
Recovery. If the archive is to be used for linking, separate the members into two 
archives, one containing TNS object files and the other continuing TNS/R object files.
ar: archive: Guardian or User Defined Error 43
 Unable to obtain disk space for file extent.
ar: archive: Guardian or User Defined Error 45
 The resulting file size exceeds 128,073,728
 bytes and the file is not a valid archive
 file.
ar: cannot create archive symbol table due to ELF/TNS mix.
