• Microsoft Fortran PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

MORE INFORMATION

Sample Code to Illustrate Problem

C Compile options needed: none

      integer i, j, arr(2,2)

      arr(1,1) = 11
      arr(1,2) = 12
      arr(2,1) = 21
      arr(2,2) = 22

      do j = 1, 2

! The next source line should generate a compiler error because the
! loop index "j" is being redefined in the implied DO loop construct.

        write (*,*) (arr(i,j), j=1,2)
      end do
      end
