Q102690: FIX: No Include Dependencies for $INCLUDE Metacommand Contents

Article: Q102690
Product(s): Microsoft Fortran Compiler

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

A project created by using Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation Visual WorkBench may
not correctly establish a dependency for an include file specified with the
$INCLUDE metacommand instead of the INCLUDE statement.

CAUSE
=====

The project build engine parses only INCLUDE statements to establish include
dependencies and does not parse $INCLUDE metacommands.

RESOLUTION
==========

Modify your source code to change all $INCLUDE metacommands to INCLUDE
statements.

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.
