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

- Microsoft Fortran PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Using a real number as an array subscript incorrectly causes the following
compiler error:

  error FOR3093: array bound is not integer scalar

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

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

The F3093 compiler error should only occur if you compile with the /4Ys option
or use the !MS$STRICT metacommand; these two options enable strict conformance
of the Fortran 90 standard.

Sample Code to Illustrate Problem
---------------------------------

  ! Compile options needed: none

        integer array(1.0)   ! F3093 error generated here
        array(1) = 1
        print *, array
        end
