BUG: Missing Structure Element Declaration, BSESUB.FD

 Last reviewed: July 12, 1995
Article ID: Q75198
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS, versions 5.0 and 5.1
  • Microsoft FORTRAN for OS/2, versions 5.0 and 5.1

SYMPTOMS

Programs which use the BSESUB.FI and BSESUB.FD include files, in addition to the VIOGETCONFIG function, may generate the following error message: 

   error F2745:  CB : I/O of entire structures illegal

CAUSE

The include file BSESUB.FD is missing an element within the VIOCONFIGINFO structure declaration.

RESOLUTION

The include file BSESUB.FD defines the VIOCONFIGINFO structure as follows: 

   STRUCTURE /VIOCONFIGINFO/
      INTEGER*2 adapter
      INTEGER*2 display
      INTEGER*4 cbMemory
   END STRUCTURE
The corresponding include file BSESUB.FI defines VIOCONFIGINFO differently, as follows: 

   STRUCTURE /VIOCONFIGINFO/
      INTEGER*2 cb
      INTEGER*2 adapter
      INTEGER*2 display
      INTEGER*4 cbMemory
   END STRUCTURE
The structure definition in BSESUB.FD should be modified to match the definition in BSESUB.FI.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FORTRAN versions 5.0 and 5.1 for MS-DOS and OS/2.

This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation.
