Q111092: BUG: DIMENSION Statement Out of Order Causes D2030 Error

Article: Q111092
Product(s): Microsoft Fortran Compiler
Version(s): 1.0,1.0a
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 02-NOV-1999

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

- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.0a 
- Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Compiling a file that contains any executable statement before a DIMENSION
statement may produce the following errors under Windows NT:

  error F2836: statement out of order
  Command Line Error D2030: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR

Under straight MS-DOS, the following errors may be produced:

  error F2836: statement out of order
  DOSXNT : fatal error DX1020: unhandled exception: Page fault;

The F2836 error is correctly being generated in both cases.

RESOLUTION
==========

Fixing the "statement out of order" problem also alleviates the internal
compiler and page fault errors.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation 32 for
Windows NT and MS-DOS, version 1.0 and 1.0A. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following sample illustrates the problem:

Sample Code
-----------

  c Compile options needed: none
  c
        continue
        dimension p(10)
        write(*,*) (p(j),j=1,10)
        end
