ID: Q51492

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS, versions 5.0, 5.1
Microsoft FORTRAN for OS/2, versions 5.0, 5.1

SUMMARY

The Microsoft FORTRAN "Reference" manual for versions 5.0 and 5.1 includes an incorrect example on the last line of page 191.

For version 5.0, the line reads as follows:


      INTEGER*22 q, m12*24, ivec(10)*24, z*24(10)

For version 5.1, the line reads as follows:


      INTEGER*2 q, m12*4, ivec(10)*4, z*24(10)

The corrected line is as follows:


      INTEGER*2 q, m12*4, ivec(10)*4, z*4(10)

The number after the "*" in the INTEGER type declaration statement represents the length of the data item. It must be 1, 2, or 4.

Additional query words: 5.00 5.10
