SYMPTOMS

The code below erroneously produces the following error when compiled with $DEBUG or /4Yb:

run-time error F6099: $DEBUG
- INTEGER overflow

RESOLUTION

Any one of the following will correct the error in the sample code:

Comment out the common blocks. -or-
Change the 16000s to 15999. -or-
Remove one parameter in the write statement. -or-
Substitute a 1 in place of ibeta in the WRITE statement. -or-
Reduce the 8600s to smaller numbers. -or-
Remove the $storage command. -or-
Break the write statement into multiple write statements.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed above. This problem was corrected in FORTRAN PowerStation, version 1.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The following code can be used to demonstrate the problem.

Sample code

$debug
$storage:2

        dimension datsp1(16000), datsp2(16000)
        real*4 datsp1,datsp2

        iy=197
        ise=193
        ibeta=1

        write(*,*) datsp1(ibeta),datsp1(ise),datsp1(iy),
