SYMPTOMS
An attempt to compile an application in the OS/2 operating system fails and the compiler generates a protection violation. An attempt to compile the application in the MS-DOS operating system fails and the second pass of the compiler generates the following message:

error F2128: ~k. : huge array cannot be aligned to segment boundary

The &quot;~&quot; and &quot;&quot; characters represent symbol characters high in the ASCII table.



CAUSE
The application contains a complicated combination of DATA statements, EQUIVALENCE statements, I/O statements, or array declarations.



RESOLUTION
Many minor code changes eliminate this error. In the code example, reducing the size of the I array below 131,072 bytes or removing the DATA statement, EQUIVALENCE statement, or an executable statement eliminates the error.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN versions 5.0 and 5.1 for MS-DOS and OS/2. This problem was corrected in FORTRAN PowerStation, version 1.0.



Sample Code
C Compile options needed: None

CHARACTER*12 NAME1 INTEGER I(32769) INTEGER J

EQUIVALENCE (I, J)     DATA NAME1 /'OFFSET.DAT'/

1    FORMAT WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) OPEN (1, FILE = NAME1, ERR = 9999) READ (1, *, END = 9999, ERR = 9999) OPEN (1, FILE = NAME1, ERR = 9999) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) WRITE (*, 1) 9999 END
