PSS ID Number: 108462
Article Last Modified on 3/24/2000
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS 1.0
This article was previously published under Q108462
SYMPTOMS
Concatenation in assignment statements fail when the character expression is surrounded by parentheses. The result is a blank string.
RESOLUTION
Because parentheses have no affect on the results of expressions involving concatenation, do not use parentheses when performing string concatenation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 for MS-DOS. This problem has been resolved with FORTRAN PowerStation maintenance release version 1.0a for MS-DOS.
MORE INFORMATION
FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 can be differentiated from the maintenance release version 1.0a by invoking the linker. Typing link32 | more from \F32\BIN directory will show version 2.8 for FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0, and it will show version 1.0f for the maintenance release version 1.0a.
To reproduce the problem create a program using the sample code When run, the sample code below displays the following:
<cat dogs> < >
Sample Code
Compile options: None
character a*4,b*4,c*8,d*8
a = "cat"
b = "dogs"
c = a//b
d = (a//b)
print *, "<",c,"> <",d,">"
end
