NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will
be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
can be used to install the ECO.

SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation
ECO INFORMATION:
ECO Kit Name: FORRTLAVE01071

System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No
ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for the DIGITAL Fortran Run-Time Library V7.1 on
OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.1. This kit addresses the following
problems:
o Under some circumstances, the RTL was improperly determining the
ascending/descending order to index file keys. This problem has been
fixed.
o A problem where bjtest was generating incorrect results has been fixed.
o A definition for FOR__STOP_RESOURCE was added into the object library.
This eliminates an undefined symbol error when linking against the olb.
o An access violation with read past end of internal file was corrected
o Support for the cpu_time intrinsic was added.
o RANDOM_SEED with no arguments now uses clock based random seeds.
o A bug involving an I/O list with multiple list items and a foreign file
was fixed.
o Previously, for list directed reads to both internal and external files,
and namelist io reads, an input value beginning with {E|D|Q}, or a value
consisting solely of a single letter from {E|D|Q}, was interpreted at
runtime as {0E0|0D0|0Q0} (i.e., zero). This is no longer the case. Such an
input does not constitute a well-formed numeric constant according to
Fortran syntax and is now treated as an input syntax error. This applies
to lowercase also, {e|d|q}.
o The conversion type (i.e., big_endian) was not properly set when reopening
a file after an implicit close.
o NAMELIST input, when the f77 compiler was used, was not allowing whitespace
between the left parenthesis "(" and first numeric value of a complex
number. This problem has been fixed.
o SYSTEM_CLOCK now returns the number of seconds from 00:00 CUT 1 JAN 1970.
The number is now returned with no bias. To obtain the elapsed time, it is
necessary to call SYSTEM_CLOCK twice, and subtract the starting time value
from the ending time value.
Prior to this change the first call to SYSTEM_CLOCK effectively zeroed the
clock register and subsequent calls returned a type of elapsed time. After
examining other implementations and the F90 standard, and looking at the
probable uses of SYSTEM_CLOCK, it was decided that SYSTEM_CLOCK would be
more useful without the bias.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
To install this kit on an OpenVMS Alpha system, follow these steps:
1. Log into the SYSTEM account or another account that has the CMKRNL,
SYSLCK and SYSPRV privileges. Make sure these privileges are enabled
by typing the command:
$ SET PROCESS /PRIVILEGES=(CMKRNL,SYSLCK,SYSPRV)
2. Locate the ECO installation kit file. If the file name is
DEC-AXPVMS-FORRTL-V0701-427-1.PCSI, skip to step 3. If the file type
ends with "DCX_AXPEXE", for example, FORRTLAVE01071.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE,
it is in a self-expanding compressed format. To expand the kit,
RUN the kit as an executable image. (You must do this on an OpenVMS Alpha
system.) For example:
$ RUN FORRTLAVE01071.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE
Press return at the prompt to use the original filename. The expansion
process will create DEC-AXPVMS-FORRTL-V0701-427-1.PCSI
3. Begin the installation process by typing the command:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL FORRTL /SOURCE=disk:[dir]
where "disk:[dir]" is the disk and directory containing the kit file.
