Re: Substituting local modules with the same name as the GM2 modules

[Michael Riedl]

John,

interesting topic - I have a similar issue with a module FIO I created 
"ages ago" but which is conflicting the the "non standard" FIO module in 
GM2.

For Storage I see objects m2pim_Storage_ALLOCATE & 
m2pim_Storage_DEALLOCATE (or  m2iso_Storage_ALLOCATE & 
m2iso_Storage_DEALLOCATE for the ISO library). If you have a local 
Storage module that should have object names  Storage_ALLOCATE & 
Storage_DEALLOCATE - so that should not give an issue at link time in my 
view.

But I face the situation that the compiler is hassling with the 
definition modules when compiling the main module - here I get complains 
about not implemented procedures and the like (seems it compares either 
my local definition file with the library implementation file or visa 
versa).

So I am also looking forward to the answer without the need to rename 
all ...

Gruß

Michael
