SYMPTOMS
For any integer data type, reading the smallest negative integer of that range generates the run-time error F6100 indicating that there was an INTEGER overflow on input.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32, version 4.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The smallest negative integer for each integer data type is:

-128 Integer*1

-32768 Integer*2

-2147483648 Integer*4

The sample code below generates the 6100 error for all integer types when compiled with PowerStation, but only generates the 6100 error for integer*4 with FORTRAN 5.1 and earlier.

Sample Code
C No Compiler options needed integer*1 i     integer*2 j      integer*4 k      open(1,file='test.dat') do 10 n=3,5 write(1,*) -2**((2**n-1)) 10  continue

rewind(1) read(1,*,iostat=ierr) i     if(ierr.eq.6100) then print*, 'error reading integer*1 was: ',ierr else print*, 'integer*1 input: ',i end if

read(1,*,iostat=ierr) j     if(ierr.eq.6100) then print*, 'error reading integer*2 was: ',ierr else print*, 'integer*2 input: ',j end if

read(1,*,iostat=ierr) k     if(ierr.eq.6100) then print*, 'error reading integer*4 was: ',ierr else print*, 'integer*4 input: ',k end if

end
