Simple request. I currently compile with ftn95 filename.f

The errors do not include line numbers of the infraction. Since some of the error messages are rather 'obtuse' is there a way of getting the offending line number printed? Thanks.

[PaulLaidler]

If you run FTN95 from a command line then the line and its number are printed.

If you are compiling from Plato or Visual Studio then the errors are displayed in the "Output" window. If you can't see this window then go to the View menu and select view Output.

I am puzzled by your not seeing line numbers. The format used for displaying syntax errors (and the program listing, if requested) may be modified by the compiler options that are in effect (those specified at the command line, those in FTN95.CFG and directives in the source file).

Here is an example of compiling from the command line. I have a program in which line-113 contains ".0" added to the end of a WHILE (cond) DO statement:

You eyes are sharp: fewer words but more informative!

[offthechart]

OK. I intentionally created this error:

write(6,"(' Enter the 1" aluminum disk radius (in): ',$)")
The xtra " is an error. Here is what I got:

***"Unterminated character constant"
1 error [main program FTN95/Win32 v7.00.01]
***compilation failed

No line number given at all. This is what I meant by 'obtuse'. Thanks

[mecej4]

The source line with the error, prefixed with the line number, is printed just preceding the text of the error message.

For the source file

[offthechart]

I don't have version 8.6. I have version 7.0. Maybe that is the difference, but line numbers do no appear anywhere in the compile error, unlike what you just showed. Thanks but my command line has none of your example.

[mecej4]

Other than the version number in the copyright line, I get the same output from versions 6.35 and 7.2.

It may help if you describe what steps you take -- with details of opening a command window, setting the environment for FTN95, and compiling the test source; the contents of FTN95.cfg in the FTN95 base directory. Or, if you are using Plato, Visual Studio or another IDE, information regarding that.

[mecej4]

I found Version 7.0 on an older PC. Here is what it said for the same two-line program as above:

[offthechart]

Yes, mecej4 I have been successfully compiling and running many programs on version 7.00 for years. I use ftn95 and slink on the command line . I do not recall setting any environment. When I open the command screen it states,

"Setting environment for FTN95 for Microsoft.net and win32".

Then I get the prompt C:\...\..\ etc. > and off I go to FTN95 filename.f

I am running Windows 7 with 64 bit machine.

You are right without line numbers it is silly.

[offthechart]

Well I found that by typing ftn95 filename.f/brief on the command line, the compiler listed the line number before describing the 'unterminated character constant" error. Hopefully this is a solution. Thanks to all for responding.

offthechart,

Could you please provide your complete cut down code example in a [code box], together with a trace of the compile option, say as:
ftn95 offthechart.f (your options) /echo > offthechart.log

I would like to understand what options are supressing the line number from being identified.

[mecej4]

As John C. wrote, it would be interesting to see the code, and putting it in a code-box is better than inline.

However, sometimes odd compiler behaviour is caused by the presence in the source code of stray tabs, form feeds, carriage returns, backspaces and other invisible characters. For such cases, a link should be provided for obtaining a true byte-for-byte copy of the original file.

[offthechart]

OK Mr. C and mecej4, here is some info.
First I created ftn95.cfg (I have never had one created) with options;
/BRIEF
/ERRORLOG
/LIST

Then compiling on the Command line I get a file created on disk -- filename.lis
It has my 2 induced errors and prints out a file with the full source code and:

0022 write(6,"(' Enter the 1" in. aluminum disk radius (in): ',$)")
ERROR C:\...\tempnewsilverfrst\filename.F 22: Unterminated character constant

and also,

0079 do i = 1,..ltot-1
ERROR C:\......\tempnewsilverfrst\filename.F 79: There is no declaration for user-defined operator '..'

Success.

Note that it takes, ftn95 filename.f/brief to get line numbers showing up in the Command prompt window. Otherwise my Command window does not display error line numbers.

Otherwise, I do not know exactly what else you might wish to see. I am not well versed in the ins and outs of compiler operation. I am a retired (13 years) engineer that specialized in structural dynamics, spectral analysis and finite element theory. I wrote many thousands of lines of code to turn physics into numbers. I still enjoy writing. Thanks for your help. If you need more info I will try.

[JohnCampbell]

I am having trouble understanding this thread.

I can not reproduce your problem with the line of code identified producing an error message as you describe or failing to identify the line number.

My example code (which hopefully identifies a fix to your problem is
