Dear all,

What do you think thac causes this following error:

error #6634: The shape matching rules of actual arguments and dummy arguments have been violated.

Thank you all!

Hi Ketson -

In Fortran 77 it was not unusual to pass arrays to subroutines using mismatched number of dimensions. For example, you might pass a two-dimensional array to a routine that accepts a one-dimensional array. And, by virtue of argument association, this would work, even if it's not the cleanest way to code your program.

I'm guessing that you have /warn:interfaces enabled, which will check for this disconnect.

Thank you Lorri,

Thank you Lorri,

Moreover, I have /warn:interfaces enabled!

If this is indeed the case,

If this is indeed the case, the correct way to do this is to pass the first element of the array, for example A(1,1) - this is "sequence association" and will suppress the error check.

I will comment that it is more helpful if you post the code in question rather than just the error message. If it's a call, include the declarations of the arguments in the call and the declaration of the called routine and its arguments.
