SYMPTOMS
An attempt to compile a program that contains nested $IF compiler conditions with $ELSE clauses may fail to produce the expected result. The compiler may generate the error:
CAUSE
When there is a $ELSE following a $ENDIF and the outer $IF condition is met making the condition false, the compiler fails to parse for any metacommands following the $ELSE including the $ENDIF that terminates the outer $IF block.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0 and MS-DOS versions 1.0 and 1.0a. This problem was fixed in FORTRAN PowerStation, version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The sample code below illustrates the problem:
Sample Code
C Compile options needed: none
$define first

$if defined (first)
$if defined (second)
