The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FORTRAN for MS-DOS, versions 4.0, 4.01, 4.1, 5.0, and 5.1
• Microsoft FORTRAN for OS/2, versions 4.1, 5.0, and 5.1

When a FORTRAN program generates the link error L2025: "symbol defined more than once" occurring on the symbol _main, it usually means that more than one of the object modules being linked appeared to the linker as a main program.

Make sure all the subprograms in all object modules, other than the main, have the FUNCTION or SUBROUTINE statement.
