The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN compiler for OS/2, version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
An attempt to compile an application fails and the compiler generates a
protection violation. This error does not occur when compiling the application
in MS-DOS or in an MS-DOS compatibility window in OS/2.
CAUSE
=====
The application contains a BLOCK DATA subprogram that uses an implied DO list
and the compiler command line includes the /4Ya option switch.
RESOLUTION
==========
To address this problem, perform one of the following two steps:
- Change the compiler command line to remove the /4Ya compiler option switch
when the application includes a BLOCK DATA subprogram.
- Modify the source code to remove the implied DO list from the BLOCK DATA
subprogram.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN version 5.0 for OS/2.
This problem was corrected in FORTRAN version 5.1 for MS-DOS and OS/2.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following code example demonstrates this problem.
