SYMPTOMS
Separating the DO statement's END DO block terminator by placing END and DO on separate lines in a fixed-form source file causes the following compilation errors to occur:

error FOR3596: missing END DO statement

-and-

error FOR2173: column 6 non-blank on initial line in fixed-form source

-and-

error FOR3470: too many END statements or duplicate program unit



CAUSE
The compiler fails to recognize the END DO block terminator when END and DO are on separate lines in a fixed-from source file.



RESOLUTION
Place the END DO block terminator on a single line in a fixed-form source file.



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
C Compile options needed: none

INTEGER I     DO I = 1,5 WRITE(*,*) I     END + DO          ! END DO must be on one line END
