BUG: DIMENSION Statement Out of Order Causes D2030 Error (111092)

The information in this article applies to:

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

This article was previously published under Q111092

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
