The shape matching rules of actual arguments and dummy arguments have been violated

[steve_konarski]

In a fortran subroutine, I am trying to use the text function getcharabcwidthsfloat.

The call to the command is

getcharabcwidthsfloat(hdc,1,ntv,ABC)

and I get the compiler error The shape matching rules of actual arguments and dummy arguments have been violated. [ABC]

At the top of the subroutine i have

use dfwinty
use gdi32

and define ABC to be of type T_ABCFLOAT

type (T_ABCFLOAT) ABC(0:255)

Any suggestions to why the compilation failed

[Jugoslav_Dujic]

Just use ABC(1) the last argument of GetCharABCWidthsFloat is (automatically but possibly incorrectly) traslated as a scalar to Fortran. Since it's a "assumed-size" array anyway, ABC(1) will do.

Brilliant - thanks
