error #7157 in intel fortran compiler v11.1

I have a code consisting of many modules written in fortran 95. When I compile the code using inter compiler ifort, I got an error message #7157 complaining that a locally defined integer variable has been incorrectly used in a specification of a contained procedure. Does anyone can help and explain me what happens here really? In fact, this code has been successfully compiled using gfortran and ran properly before.

Thanks in advance.

You will need to show us the code. Ideally, a short but compilable source that demonstrates the problem. If it is a larger file, attach it to a reply here.

Generically, that error means that in a specification expression, which is used for declaring array bounds and similar things, you have a variable that is not a dummy argument, COMMON variable, or a variable that is use or host associated. It could be that our compiler made an error, or maybe not. Let's see the code.
