BUG: RUNQQ Generates DX1420 for MS-DOS Extended Tools

 Last reviewed: July 13, 1995
Article ID: Q106567
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and 1.0a

SYMPTOMS

RUNQQ generates the following error message when it invokes any executable that requires the MS-DOS extended utility shipped with Microsoft language products: 

   DOSXMSF : fatal error DX1420: cannot load program : invalid or
             corrupted .EXE file
For example, RUNQQ cannot execute the MS-DOS extended utilities such as NMAKE, FL32, and LINK32, that are shipped with Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and 1.0a.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, version 1.0 and 1.0a.

This is not a problem with FORTRAN PowerStation 32.

MORE INFORMATION

The following sample program generates DX1420 when RUNQQ executes the MS-DOS extended utility FL32.EXE. RUNQQ does not cause any problems when it spawns 16-bit programs and utilities.

Sample Code

C No compiler options required 

       include 'flib.fi'
       include 'flib.fd'
       i = runqq('fl32',' ')
       print '(A,I3)',' Return Code:', i
       end
The following output is produced when the above program is executed: 

   DOSXMSF : fatal error DX1420: cannot load program : invalid or
             corrupted .EXE file
   Additional info: "C:\F32\BIN\fl32.exe"
   Return Code: 11
