Locally Defined Symbol Imported

I imagine this has come up before in various guises.  I would like to get rid of WARNING messages by means other than simply switching them off (too much like shooting the messenger).  Our application features a number of dll's some of which make use of a COMMON block within a module.  (This was to get around the problem of exporting module EQUIVALENCE variables - we export a COMMON block in stead.)  On the other hand the routines within the dll also make use of the exported COMMON block and hence the warning messages "Locally defined symbol xxxxx imported in yyyyy."

Does anyone have a way of getting around this and avoiding the warnings.  I have to add that no harm seems to be done so far as I have been able to tell.

The warning is harmless.  The only way to get rid of it is to add it to the list of messages to "ignore" in the linker properties.  You get this when a DLLIMPORT is seen for a symbol defined in the linked image.  That will happen if you DLLEXPORT something in a module and then USE that module.

Thanks, Steve,

That is what I expected you would say.
