SYMPTOMS
When a subroutine or an external function with entry points has an argument passed by value, the compiler generates the following warning message for every ENTRY statement in the code:
RESOLUTION
This warning message can be ignored, provided that there is no other problem with the ENTRY statements.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was fixed in FORTRAN PowerStation 32, version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The following sample code produces the F4201 warning message on compilation, but will properly execute to yield correct results:
