Error Code 218 (Recursive IO was detected)

[wallac99]

Are there any details about this error code?
I looked up the user guide but the I/O errors stop at 217.

I've been trying to compiler some visual fortran code, that was originally developed on windows but this error is halting my progress.

Any help is appreciated.

The error means that your application uses a code, which looks like this:

...
write(...) ..., func(), ...
...

integer function func()
...
write(...) ...
...
end function func

WRITE statement attempts to write result of a function, which has the similar WRITE statement.
