Undefined variable problem

[jct_office]

I thought I posted this question yesterday. But I cant seem to find it. Here it goes again.

I am stumped by a problem. Any help, suggestions, etc will be appreciated.

I am currently running Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6

In a module, Ihave created an array using the following:

type variables
integer :: m(150)
real :: d(600)
end type variables

type(variables), target :: orig

Next, I associate array elements with pointers using:

integer, pointer :: &

iname1, iname2, iname3, ......

Then, i have a subroutine which associates the pointer name witha specific array location:

iname1 => orig%m(01)

iname2 => orig%m(02)

iname3 => orig%m(03), and so on.

Then i have a subroutine which fills the variables with values:

iname1 = 10

iname2 = 12

iname3 = iname1+iname2

No compile errors, no link errors.

Now here is my problem:

When i first startthe debugger, I use the watch window to examine the values of my variables. Some of the variables will display "Undefined pointer/array" while others will display "undefined variable name". Further, I cannot discern a pattern.

For example:

name value

--------- ---------

iname1 undefined pointer/array

iname2 undefined variable iname2

iname3 undefined pointer/array

Then, after i fill the variables with values:

iname1 10

iname2 undefined variable iname2

iname3 22

If instead, I desplay the array elements

orig%m(01) 10

orig%m(02) 12

orig%m(03) 22

What is going on here?

How do I convince CVF that I all of the names i assign are pointers, and not undefined variables?? One would think that saying "integer, pointer :: iname2" would be sufficient?

What am I doing wrong?

Any help will be appreciated.
