The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.0a

Assumed size arrays do not display in a Watch or Locals window; instead, one of
the following errors is displayed:

   CV1255 Message: no data members

   -or-

   EE0037 Error: Array subscript out of bounds

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation versions
1.0 and 1.0a.

This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation 32.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To demonstrate the problem:

1. Build the sample code with the project in debug mode.

2. Set a breakpoint on the print statement and then GO (press F5).

3. In the Watch window, type the following:

   " A <press the DOWN ARROW key> A(1) <press the UP ARROW key>
   <ENTER> " (without the quotation marks)

4. The following is displayed:

   -a
   CV1255 Message: no data members
   a(1) = EE0037 Error: Array subscript out of bounds.

5. In the Locals window, press ENTER and the following is displayed:
   [BP+0008]-DIM A CV1255 Message: no data members

Sample Code
-----------

         real*4 x(10)
         x = 3.14
         call sub (x)
         end

         subroutine sub (a)
         real*4  a(*)
         a(1) = 1.2
         print*, a(1)
