How to use #ifdef - #else - #endif in Intel Visual Fortran

[acobulareddy]

I have the following code in one of my Fortran Program which is working fine in Unix. where as the same code is giving errors while compiling in windows (intel fortran). How to use such statements in Windows

#ifdef BYPASSBUILTDATE

character *10 BUILTDATE/ BYPASSBUILTDATE /
#else
character*7 BUILTDATE/'No date'/
#endif
#ifdef BYPASSVERSION
character*8 VERSION/ BYPASSVERSION /
#else
character*10 VERSION/'No version'/

Thanks,
Chandra.

Conditionnal compilation syntax is :

!dec$ if defined(VARIABLE_NAME)

...
!dec$ else

...
!dec$ endif

You can use the #if syntax but have to enable the "Fortran Preprocessor" option - it is off by default. /fpp from the command line or the Preprocessor property page in Visual Studio.
