SYMPTOMS
When you use the VALUES array parameter of the DATE_AND_TIME subroutine, zero is returned from the system clock to the milliseconds array element.



RESOLUTION
Use the TIME parameter to the DATE_AND_TIME subroutine, or use the GETTIM subroutine, which is accurate up to one-hundredths of a second.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Sample Code to Illustrate Problem and Workarounds
C Compile options needed: none

USE MSFLIB INTEGER(4) CURTIME(8) C     CHARACTER*10 TIME_STR               ! Uncomment for Workaround #1 C     INTEGER(2) THOUR, TMIN, TSEC, THUN  ! Uncomment for Workaround #2

CALL DATE_AND_TIME(VALUES=CURTIME)  ! Returns zero milliseconds. WRITE(*,*) 'Using DATE_AND_TIME.' WRITE(*, 100) CURTIME(5), CURTIME(6), CURTIME(7), CURTIME(8) WRITE(*,*)

C Uncomment the following two lines for Workaround #1

C     CALL DATE_AND_TIME(TIME=TIME_STR) C     WRITE(*,*) 'The current time is: ', TIME_STR

C Uncomment the following three lines for Workaround #2

C     WRITE(*,*) ; WRITE(*,*) 'Using GETTIM.' C     CALL GETTIM(THOUR, TMIN, TSEC, THUN) C     WRITE(*, 100) THOUR, TMIN, TSEC, THUN*10

100  FORMAT(' The current time is: ', I2.2, ':', I2.2, ':',     + I2.2, '.', I3.3)

END
