SYMPTOMS
========
An attempt to multiply initialize a data, in a BLOCK DATA program unit causes
the compiler to issue the F2374 error message below in the wrong location.
error F2374: 'symbol' redefinition; multiple initialization
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed above. We are
researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following code demonstrates the problem. The error F2374 is reported on the
end statement of the first routine in the file, rather than the block data where
the error occurred. This is true regardless of the relative positions or other
intervening routines.
Sample Code
-----------
C Compile options needed: none
subroutine y()
write(*,*) 'cat'
end
block data initerr
common /errz/ nerr
data nerr /0/, nerr /1/
end
