Hi everyone,
I have a very strange problem while reading a previously written file. I write an unformatted file using the following code
!...... SOME PREVIOUS CODE COMPLEX(KIND=8), ALLOCATABLE, DIMENSION(:,:) :: D CALL getenv('DIPFILE',file_dip) file_dip = TRIM(file_dip)//".V" ! velocity gauge OPEN(UNIT=iout, FILE=file_dip, STATUS='REPLACE', & & ACCESS='SEQUENTIAL', FORM='UNFORMATTED') ALLOCATE ( D(dim_t,dim_t), STAT = istatus ) IF (istatus /= 0) CALL alloc_error ( ilog, 0, istatus, 'D') D=CMPLX(0.0_rk, 0.0_rk) DO l = 0, l_max ! SOME OPERATIONS.... DO j_st = 1, dim_t WRITE(iout) REAL(D(:,j_st)) WRITE(iout) AIMAG(D(:,j_st)) ENDDO ENDDO CLOSE(iout)
Then, I read the file using another fortran program (using the same compiling options), but this time I don't read the whole record but just a part of it, I'm doing as follows.
REAL(KIND=8), ALLOCATABLE, DIMENSION(:) :: D_re, D_im ALLOCATE ( D_re(n_Dip), STAT = istatus ) ! IF (istatus /= 0) CALL alloc_error ( ilog, 0, istatus, 'D_re') ALLOCATE ( D_im(n_Dip), STAT = istatus ) ! IF (istatus /= 0) CALL alloc_error ( ilog, 0, istatus, 'D_im') ! SOME CODE INTERMEDIATE CODE DO l = 0, l_max n_col = NS_sym(l+1) n_row = NS_sym(l+1) i_D = D_sym(l+1, l+1) DO i_col = 1, n_col READ(idata) D_re(i_D: i_D + n_row - 1) READ(idata) D_im(i_D: i_D + n_row - 1) i_D = i_D + n_row ENDDO DO i_col = n_col + 1, dim_r READ(idata) READ(idata) ENDDO ENDDO CLOSE(idata)
Now, when I run it I get the error
forrtl: severe (67): input statement requires too much data, unit 10, file "test"
The strange thing is that I'm reading less data that what is actually in the records of the "test" file. Even more strange is that it only happens sometimes, meaning that with other files the program runs perfectly ok. There seems to be no pattern, as when I write and read the matrices of five thousand or more elements it read perfectly, but with few elements works sometimes well, sometimes spits the error above.
Could you help me?
Im using ifort compiler version 15.0.1 using the compiler flags -O3 -xHost -ipo ( I've tried compiling without optimizations and the result is the same in any case)
Thanks in advanced,
Ronquentin

I think you've encountered a known bug, which gets triggered when you read a small part of a very large record, causing the file position to be set incorrectly. This is fixed for a release later this year.

Thank you for your quick reply Steve.
I am grateful that this will be fixed, but in any case, would you have any suggestion to temporally overcome the bug?
Thanks in advanced,
Roquentin

I'm now told to expect this to be fixed in Update 3.
Sorry, I don't know of a workaround other than by reading the rest of the large record (perhaps into a variable you don't use.)
