Message <Context> the linker will be unable to perform this static initialization if the initializer is defined in a sharable image. Description A static initialization will require that a link-time constant be truncated. If the constant is resolved in a sharable image, the linker will issue a diagnostic and be unable to perform the initialization. This message is output on OpenVMS systems only. User Action Rewrite the static initialization so that the link-time constant will not be truncated.
