BUG: Missing Structure Element Declaration, BSESUB.FD (75198)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.0
Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.1
Microsoft FORTRAN compiler for OS/2 5.0
Microsoft FORTRAN compiler for OS/2 5.1

This article was previously published under Q75198

SYMPTOMS

Programs which use the BSESUB.FI and BSESUB.FD include files, in addition to the VIOGETCONFIG function, may generate the following error message:

error F2745: CB : I/O of entire structures illegal

CAUSE

The include file BSESUB.FD is missing an element within the VIOCONFIGINFO structure declaration.

RESOLUTION

The include file BSESUB.FD defines the VIOCONFIGINFO structure as follows:

   STRUCTURE /VIOCONFIGINFO/ 
      INTEGER*2 adapter
      INTEGER*2 display
      INTEGER*4 cbMemory
   END STRUCTURE

The corresponding include file BSESUB.FI defines VIOCONFIGINFO differently, as follows:

   STRUCTURE /VIOCONFIGINFO/ 
      INTEGER*2 cb
      INTEGER*2 adapter
      INTEGER*2 display
      INTEGER*4 cbMemory
   END STRUCTURE

The structure definition in BSESUB.FD should be modified to match the definition in BSESUB.FI.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FORTRAN versions 5.0 and 5.1 for MS-DOS and OS/2.

This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation.
