Undeserved(?) Syntax Error

[jackosullivan1]

The following code used to compile fineprior to my "upgrading" to VS2008 (9.0.21022.8 RTM)and IVF 11.1.067, but now itgives the compilation Error 1 shown below.

[fxfortran]        write(37,*)'(sec)',(tab,'Code',tab,'('//volunit//')',       
     1   tab,'('//trim(pressunit)//'-abs)',tab,'(gm-moles)',tab     
     1    ,'Fraction',tab,'('//trim(pressunit)//'-abs)'
     1    ,tab,'('//trim(pressunit)//'-abs)',j=1,lngPL)             
[/fxfortran]

Error 1 error #5082: Syntax error, found ')' when expecting one of: :

When I change the code to the following -- using brackets in place of parentheses in the literal strings --all is fine. It compiles and links, and away we go.

[fxfortran]        write(37,*)'[sec]',(tab,'Code',tab,'['//volunit//']',        
     1   tab,'['//trim(pressunit)//'-abs]',tab,'[gm-moles]',tab      
     1    ,'Fraction',tab,'['//trim(pressunit)//'-abs]'
     1    ,tab,'['//trim(pressunit)//'-abs]',j=1,lngPL)              
[/fxfortran]

Since all of the potentially offending right parentheses were originally within single quotes to designate literal strings, this appears to be some sort of compiling error. Or have I missed some recent change of the Fortran syntax rules?

Thanks and God bless!

This is a compiler bug - I'll report it to the developers. Thanks.

Thank you, Steve.
Ironically, this is myfirst encounter with IVF in over a year. Leave it to me to bump into a bug!
Thanks again, and of course ...
God bless!

Jack,

Can you tell me which version you used before?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Never mind - I found that it compiled ok in 11.1.060. Reported as issue DPD200162543.

Steve,
Sorry I "stepped away" from my emails and things for a bit... Glad you found what worked. I'm pretty sure I was successfully using one of the earlier 11.0's, but thanks to a crashed laptop, I can't be sure of which build.

Thanks again for all you do!
God bless!
Jack
