SYMPTOMS
In Developer Studio, syntax coloring of the FORTRAN statement GO TO fails when a space separates the syllables GO and TO.



RESOLUTION
Use the GOTO statement as a single word.



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
The FORTRAN standard allows the GOTO statement to be represented as either GOTO or GO TO; both statements are treated the same.

To illustrate the problem, copy the following source code into a text file in Developer Studio. Save the text file using the .for source file extension. All FORTRAN keywords are syntax colored except for the GO TO statement.

Sample Code to Illustrate Problem
C Compile options needed: none

PARAMETER (LIMIT = 20) INTEGER SUM

10   IF(SUM .LE. LIMIT) THEN SUM = SUM + 1 GO TO 10     ! GO TO statement will not be syntax colored END IF

END
