SYMPTOMS
The USE statement's ONLY option allows access to those module members specified in the only-list. Attempting to gain access to a module's member not specified in the USE statement's ONLY option only-list results in a compilation error similar to the following:

error FOR2206: inconsistent data type for FUNCTION  from procedure  and procedure 



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.



MORE INFORMATION
In the following sample code, both the SETWRITEMODE function and the $GPSET constant are defined in the MSFLIB module although the $GPSET constant is the only module member specified as accessible to the program unit. When compiling, the sample code the compiler erroneously attempts to gain access to the definition of the SETWRITEMODE function resulting in the FOR2206 compiler error.

Sample Code
C Compile options needed: none

use msflib, only: $GPSET i = SETWRITEMODE( $GPSET ) end
