Format change for unformatted data files?

[ferrad01]

Were having a problem reading a file MENU.FLB. It works fine under Digital Fortran, but Intel fails reading it. Maybe Intel has changed the format of unformatted files? Here is the file plus my test program (menu.for) which also fails reading it.

Looking at http://www.erdc.hpc.mil/documentation/Tips_Tricks/unformattedFiles , this file (menu.flb) does not follow the format they describe. I created a small program (menu1.for) to create an FLB file with similar data, and it creates it in the format described on the website.

Could the format of unformatted files (this sounds like an oxymoron) have changed between Dec and Intel?

If so how do I read a (Dec) unformatted file with Intel 11.1?

Steve,
If I switch on /fpscomp:ioformat now for all my projects, will this be supported in future versions of the Intel compiler?

We have no plans to remove that feature. I can't imagine any circumstances under which we would.

Adrian,

As a programmer using IVF for many years, and an OLI customer, I'm happy to hear that you're using IVF as well.

Regards,
