Using MS Powerstation several years ago, I created a Structure that I could lay the file structure of DTED land mass data in the Powerstation memory structure. I was very impressed with this ability because the data structure was just under 4 megs in size. The actual data in row column format is 1201 X 1201 in integer(2) format.
Moving this program to Compaq Visual Fortran, I run into warnings in the debuger stating array sizes cannot be larger than 1000. The data I was using was 30 arc second elevation posts. The US has since been mapped with 3 arc second data and the structures have doubled in size.
Q: how can I over come this limitation?
The second situation is that I need to place the entire file structure into a sequential byte array. This is not a problem because I have equivelenced the file array with the Structure in memory, I get warnings that my structures are not properly aligned with integer2 and integer4 memory structure data. The memory structure takes care of the different data integer sizes.The powerstation had a compiler option /Zp1 that handled this. Is there a way of doing this with the visual fortran?
This is my first message posting, if it is not clear I can supply the data structures. thanks
