SYMPTOMS
Compiling a free form source file that contains a module with the name "procedure" causes the following compiler syntax error:

error FOR3852: syntax error detected between MODULE and PROCEDURE



CAUSE
The compiler fails to interpret the name "procedure" as a valid module name in a free form source file.



RESOLUTION
Either don't use "procedure" as a module name in a free form source file, or use fixed form source code.



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
! Compile options needed: none ! Use FORTRAN 90 source extension: .F90

! !ms$nofreeform      ! Uncomment this line for workaround program modproc end program modproc

module procedure end module procedure
