RTL error on Internal READ

bdrichards — Mon, 19 Feb 2001 13:15:14 GMT

Consider the following:

Character*9 s1
Real*8 a

s1 = ' ' ! all blanks
read(s1,*) a ! generates RTL error in 6.1+, but not in previous ver?

Any comments?

OOPS! The formatting of my original post seems to have gone hairwire!!?

Consider the following:
Character*9 s1
Real*8 a s1 = ' ' ! all blanks
read(s1,*) a ! generates RTL error in 6.1+, but not in previous ver?

I would expect an end-of-file error for that usage. What do you get?

Yep, that's the error. Is it possible that earlier (pre6.1 or 6.0) CVF actually wrote a 0.0 to the value (without our versioning control in place I can't verify any earlier builds)? Perhaps I am hallucinating...

On another topic, my posts seem to lose their simple carriage returns and wrap in line lengths that mess up the code samples. What am I doing wrong (I tried shift+return, also)?

I don't think this behavior has changed at all.

As for posting code - you have to bracket in

...

The code used to process the entries throws away line breaks inside of "paragraphs", and I'm told that this is VERY difficult to change. (A commercial package is being used.)
