The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSAn attempt to compile an application fails and the compiler generates the following message:
CAUSEThe source code specifies the $PACK: metacommand without its required trailing colon (:) character. RESOLUTION
Modify the source code to specify the colon character.
MORE INFORMATIONPage 305 of the Microsoft FORTRAN "Reference" manual for version 5.0 documents the $PACK: metacommand incorrectly three times. First, the following syntax statement is incorrect.
This statement indicates that the colon is an optional character. The
correct syntax statement is as follows:
Second, the second-to-last paragraph on the page is also incorrect. It
includes the following statement:
If $PACK is specified (no colon or number), packing reverts to whatever mode was specified in the command-line /Zp option.Because the $PACK: metacommand must include a colon, this statement should be corrected to read as follows: If $PACK: is specified (without a number), packing reverts to whatever mode was specified in the command-line /Zp option.Third, the example of using $PACK: is incorrect. On the first line of the example, add the colon character to the $PACK: metacommand. Additional query words: 5.00 5.10
