- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Using the tab edit descriptor (T) in a formatted READ statement can cause data
to read in incorrectly.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0
for MS-DOS. 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 version 1.0f for the maintenance
release version 1.0a.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The sample code below demonstrates this problem. Although the sample uses
internal files, this error also occurs when reading from disk files and the
console.
Sample Code
-----------
C No compiler options required
real w,x,y,z
character*255 wb
C 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456
wb=' -6704 21 9.3 -399.7 1712.5 .000'
read(wb,'(T16,F10.3,T26,F10.3,T36,F10.3,T46,F10.3)') w,x,y,z
print *, w,x,y,z
Print *, 'Should be:'
print *, 9.3, -399.7, 1712.5, 0.0
end
Output:
9.300000 -399.700000 71712.000000 5.000000
Should be:
9.300000 -399.700000 1712.500000 0.000000E+00
