When SLINK informs if it finds common blocks size different in different subprograms or symbols/variables/functions are missing, it only says about the file names where problems were found. But under these filenames there could be literally hundreds of subprograms. If there is no option to force it to be more specific (and i do not see it but may be overlooked) my suggestion is to create one.
Option for SLINK to be more verbose
Thanks for the input. I think that this suggestion has been made before. However, I doubt that SLINK has access to this information until it is first passed through as data in the object file by FTN95. So it becomes a major undertaking for a small gain.
Paul,
Wouldn't SLINK have access to the subroutine/function name where the inconsistent COMMON length is being defined ? When processing a .obj or .lib file, doesn't it processes one routine at a time.

You may be right. It is on the wish list.
