PRB: Does Not Support Logical Operations on FORTRAN Strings

Last reviewed: July 17, 1995
Article ID: Q22343

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, and 3.14
Microsoft CodeView for OS/2, versions 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.5

SYMPTOMS

Set a watchpoint on a string in a FORTRAN program by using the following line:

   fred.eq.'test'

CodeView always returns the message "Operand types invalid for this operation."

CAUSE

CodeView does not support logical operations on Fortran strings (however, it does with C strings). Therefore, you cannot use the logical operator "eq" on the string for setting up the watchpoint.
