While converting my MS Powerstation fortran 77 program using PLATO 4.3 the following fragment does not compile:

...
read(lun,fmt=100,rec=record,end=888,err=999)(alfa(i),i=1,max)
100 format(1024a1)
...

While compiling I get the message:
error 262 - The REC option is not permitted with END

I realize you can't argue with the compiler, but the .pdf documentation seems to indicate these are compatible. Everything compiled and worked under previous MS compiler. Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

why don't you try:

read (lun,fmt=100, rec=record, iostat=iostat) (alfa(i),i=1,max)
if (iostat /= 0) then
write (*,*) 'Error reading ',lun,' IOSTAT = ',iostat
...
end if

Find out what are the possible errors. Certainly having the value of "record" pointing past the end of the defined file will give a non-zero value for iostat. FORTRAN_ERROR_MESSAGE@ may help to understand the possible errors.
