The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Declaring a variable after an ENTRY statement may cause the compiler to generate
the following error message:
error F2836: statement out of order
RESOLUTION
==========
Make all the type declarations before all the ENTRY statements to avoid this
error message.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS,
version 1.0. This problem has been resolved with FORTRAN Powerstation
maintenance release version 1.0a for MS-DOS.
FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 can be differentiated from the maintenance
release version 1.0a by invoking the linker. Typing "link32 | more" (without the
quotation marks) from \F32\BIN directory will show version 2.8 for FORTRAN
Powerstation version 1.0, and it will show 1.0f for the maintenance release
version 1.0a.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Compiling the following code demonstrates the problem:
Sample Code
-----------
C No options required
subroutine sub(x)
entry suben(x)
real x
end
C The compiler generates the following incorrect error:
C error F2836: statement out of order
This error message can be avoided by moving the declaration for x above the ENTRY
statement but below the subroutine statement.
