DOCERR: Iteration Count Overflow in 5.0 and 5.1 Manuals (70193)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q70193 SUMMARY
On pages 149 and 150 of the version 5.0 and version 5.1 "Microsoft FORTRAN
Reference" manual, the iteration count for DO loops is incorrectly stated
to default to INTEGER*2 storage. DO loop iteration counts actually appear
to default to the same precision as the DO variable, except when the start
value and stop value are constants, rather than variables. In this case,
the DO loop iteration count appears to default to INTEGER*4 storage.
