SYMPTOMS

An attempt to open a file in the OS/2 operating system produces the following message:

run-time error F6412: OPEN(filename.ext.)
- SHARE not installed

The file has an invalid file extension. The error message is incorrect and should read as follows:

run-time error F6414: OPEN(filename.ext.)
- access not allowed

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN version 5.0 for OS/2. This problem was corrected in FORTRAN version 5.1 for OS/2.

The following code example demonstrates this error. The trailing period is not a valid part of the filename specification.

C Compile options needed: None

     OPEN(UNIT = 7, FILE = 'FILENAME.EXT.')
     END
