BUG: F6103 Reading "0." into COMPLEX Number

Last reviewed: December 10, 1995
Article ID: Q106730
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS version 1.0 and 1.0a
  • Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32 version 1.0 and 4.0

SYMPTOMS

Attempting to READ "0." into a COMPLEX variable produces the following error:

   run-time error F6103: READ(file_name)
   - invalid real

This error occurs with standard- or list-directed formats on internal and external files.

Inputs of 0, 0.0, and .0 as well as all other numbers ending in a decimal point can be correctly read into COMPLEX variables.

RESOLUTION

Input 0 (zero) rather than 0. when reading complex values using formatted I/O.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The following program demonstrates that with PowerStation, imputing 0, 0.0, or 1. does not produce any errors, but imputing 0. produces the F6103 invalid real error. The output when compiled with PowerStation is:

   In: 1.,1.     Out:           (1.000000,1.000000), error #:     0
   In: 1.,0.     Out:           (1.000000,1.000000), error #:  6103
   In: 0.,1.     Out:           (1.000000,1.000000), error #:  6103
   In: 0.0,0.0   Out:   (0.000000E+00,0.000000E+00), error #:     0
   In: 0,0       Out:   (0.000000E+00,0.000000E+00), error #:     0

Sample Code #1

Compile options: none

      COMPLEX*8 c1
      INTEGER*4 Lerr
      character*7 s(5)
      data s/'1.,1.', '1.,0.', '0.,1.', '0.0,0.0', '0,0'/

      do 1 i=1,5
        READ  (s(i), '(2F6.0)', IOSTAT=Lerr) c1
        WRITE (*,*) ' In: '//s(i)//'   Out:',c1,', error #:',Lerr
 1    continue
      END
