The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0
- Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If one or more blanks precede a NAMELIST comma separator, it will generate the
following run-time error at the input line:
run-time error F6511:
input_operation(filename.***) -variable name not found
The error can also occur if there are repeat factors in a comma separated
NAMELIST or if there are spaces after repeat factors in a NAMELIST which are not
separated by commas.
RESOLUTION
==========
The comma value separator must immediately follow the variable name. Removing
blank(s) between the NAMELIST variable and the following comma separator will
resolve this problem.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation
32 for Windows NT, version 1.0. This problem was corrected in FORTRAN
PowerStation version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
================
A NAMELIST value separator can be a single comma or one or more blanks. Tabs are
valid as white-space separators. Blanks are not allowed between a NAMELIST
variable and the comma following.
Sample Code
-----------
The following sample program and NAMELIST data set produces run-time error F6511
at the READ statement:
NAMELIST /SECT1/STX, STY
OPEN (15, FILE='NM.DAT', STATUS='OLD')
READ (15, SECT1)
STOP
END
NM.DAT Data Set 1
-----------------
&SECT1 STX= 0.0000 , STY=10.0000 /
The following data set does not generate the error:
NM.DAT Data Set 2
-----------------
&SECT1 STX=0.0000, STY=10.0000 /
