Weird error messages....

[kabir dot patel at uk dot andersen dot com]

I have successfully managed to compile and make some example pieces of c code
that make use of DBLIBRARY to
retrieve data from a database.

However, when I try to do the same for my piece of c code (which historically
worked) I get the following "weird" error
messages, which I do not understand:

========================================
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4127: error: unknown opcode ".subse
ction"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4127: error: statement syntax
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4135: error: unknown opcode ".previ
ous"
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccSWYwNz.s", line 4135: error: statement syntax
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `syb2gom'
========================================

Could somebody tell me:

a) What this means?
b) How it can be resolved?

I have gone through the code and see nothing wrong with the syntax.

Thanks in advance
