SUMMARY

Page 376 of the Microsoft FORTRAN version 5.0 Reference Manual and page 382 of the Microsoft FORTRAN version 5.1 Reference Manual incorrectly state the following:

Structure variables may be used both for internal data representation, and for reading and writing groups of data from unformatted files.

The transfer of data using a whole structure is not allowed. Structure elements are permitted within I/O lists, but not entire structure variables.
