The error i am getting is "Too many common data labels". The common has
been full for the last 20+ years, and nothing new has been added. Any and
all help would be greatly appreciated. Nobody here seems to know what it
means, and of course nobody knows what is wrong or how to fix it. The
manual says to re code the program with less common data labels, this is
not possible to do. The management will not allow a rewrite, plus it would
take about six months to do..Thanks Bob

Assuming this is a fortran error, the following is gleaned from the ITRC.

Problem Description

The following error is received when attempting a PREP of a FORTRAN/3000
program (error also possible with FORTRAN 77): "SEGMENTER ERROR 66 TOO MANY
DATA LABELS"

Solution

By default the maximum number of common variables that can be referenced
in a Fortran/3000 or Fortran 77 program is 254.  The above error is
received when this limit is exceeded.  This limit can be overridden by
specifying the MORECOM parameter on the $CONTROL statement ($MORECOM for
Fortran 77).  By specifying the MORECOM parameter, the amount of common
storage which can be referenced is increased to 254 common blocks.
