BUG: Error in ELSEIF References Line Number for Matching IF

 Last reviewed: July 20, 1995
Article ID: Q131497
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS, version 5.1
  • Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, versions 1.0 and 1.0a

SYMPTOMS

A run-time error that occurs on a line with an ELSEIF statement is reported to have occurred on the line where the starting IF is located.

NOTE: The /4Yb 'Extended error handling' option needs to be used in order for the line numbers to be displayed along with the error.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug 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.

NOTE: This behavior does not occur with FORTRAN PowerStation 32.

MORE INFORMATION

Sample Code to Demonstrate Problem

C C Compile options needed: /4Yb C C This program should give error F6096 when run 

      PROGRAM ElseIfTest
C Declare the variables 
      INTEGER*4 A(8)
      INTEGER*4 I
      INTEGER*4 S
C Initialize the variables 
      A = 0
      I = 0
      S = 2
C Begin the IF statement 
      IF (S .EQ. 1) THEN              !  Error reported on this line
          PRINT *,'Equals One'
      ELSEIF (A(I) .GT. 1) THEN       !  Error occurs on this line
