ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEC Fortran V6.3 for OpenVMS VAX on OpenVMS VAX
V5.4 or higher.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems addressed in the FORTECO01063 Kit:

   V6.3-142    The compiler no longer fails with a bugcheck during 
               the PACK phase for certain programs with expressions
               containing character concatenation, substrings and
               the use of the ISHFT intrinsic function.

   V6.3-143    The compiler no longer fails with a bugcheck during
               the LIFE phase when the argument to SIZEOF is a
               function reference.

   V6.3-144    The compiler now checks local variables
               for misalignment due to EQUIVALENCE when
               /WARNINGS=ALIGNMENT is specified.

   V6.3-145    The compiler no longer fails with a bugcheck during
               the SELECT phase for certain main programs containing
               an adjustable array declaration which is followed by
               an IMPLICIT NONE statement.

   V6.3-146    The compiler no longer generates bad code for certain
               programs which pass pointee record fields as actual
               arguments.

   V6.3-147    The compiler no longer fails with a bugcheck during
               the SYNC phase when /OPTIMIZE=LEVEL=4 is specified
               for certain programs containing a comparison between
               a type conversion from a non-integer or logical type
               (eg. ICHAR) and .TRUE. or .FALSE..

   V6.3-148    The compiler no longer generates incorrect DEC Source
               Code Analyzer information for certain references to
               BLAS intrinsics when the /ANALYSIS_DATA qualifier is
               specified.

   V6.3-149    The compiler no longer fails with a bugcheck during
               the LEXSYN phase in rare circumstances for certain
               programs using the DICTIONARY statement. 

   V6.3-150    The compiler now correctly disallows in all cases the
               use of the %REF, %VAL and %DESCR built-in functions
               outside the context of an actual argument.

   V6.3-151    The compiler no longer generates incorrect DEC Source
               Code Analyzer information for certain programs
               containing placeholders in declarations when the
               /DESIGN=PLACEHOLDERS and /ANALYSIS_DATA qualifiers
               are specified.

   V6.3-152    The compiler no longer generates bad code or spurious
               USEUNIVAR warnings in unusual circumstances for
               certain programs in which a variable becomes defined
               by its appearance in the I/O list of a READ statement
               and where just prior to the read a subroutine was
               called with a record field as an actual argument.

   V6.3-153    The compiler no longer generates bad code, where
               an array index register would get overwritten, for
               certain programs containing a use of the MAX or MIN
               intrinsic functions with array element arguments as
               an actual argument.

   V6.3-154    The compiler's listing of PSECT attributes now uses
               the keywords OCTA and PAGE for alignments of 2**4 and
               2**9.

   V6.3-155    The compiler now emits Debug Symbol Table information
               for pointees.

   NOTE:  In addition to the fixes listed above, this ECO addresses a
          source of customer concern regarding a compatibility problem
          with DEC Fortran for OpenVMS Alpha Systems in that the VAX
          compiler had lacked the ability to automatically align RECORDs
          and COMMONs.  The VAX compiler now has the same capability in
          this regard as does the Alpha compiler. 


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is
installed.  

If this kit is being installed on a VMScluster system, the command
procedure SYS$UPDATE:FORTRAN$POST_INSTALL.COM must be run on every VAX
member of the cluster so that the updated compiler and command tables
are available to all users. 

NOTE:  This ECO kit can be installed with VMSINSTAL or the POLYCENTER 
       Software Installation (PCSI) utility.  The following command is
       an example of the VMSINSTAL command on the OpenVMS VAX operating
       system: 

          @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL FORTECO01063 [location of the saveset]

       The following is an example PCSI command that can be used on
       OpenVMS VAX V6.1 or later systems:
