PostPosted: Wed Sep 28, 2016 2:21 am    Post subject: Output Window Closes after running Reply with quote

Please help me. I cannot see the output of my codes anymore. Whenever I start run, it will display that linking and compiling is complete. Then the output window will open, but will close in less than a second. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Silverfrost but nothing happens. I really hope someone can help me. Thank you

I am guessing you are running your program from within PLATO.
If this is the case, rather than letting the program exit, put a prompt to finish, such as:

write (*,*) 'Program has finished; prompt to exit'
read (*,'(i5)') n
stop
end

Alternatively, run your program outside of PLATO or put a few prompts in the program to report progress, using write (*,*) 'At this stage'

If you had a problem with the program, it should report something.

You will get this behaviour when running a console application from Windows Explorer or perhaps Visual Studio.

When using a Command Prompt window (DOS box) or Plato, you will be able to see your output.

... so, is this disappearing on compile as is implied above, or when running the executeable ?

These links, which seem to re-inforce the suggestions already made in earlier comments, may (or may not) help in understanding the 'problem'.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1775865/preventing-console-window-from-closing-on-visual-studio-c-c-console-applicatio

... surely there must be a parameter to set in Plato to avoid this phenomenon (see links where suggested settings for VS are given to solve it.

If the output is in an old fashioned DOS box, then putting the "WINAPP" directive in the program will give a windows box which won't close on exist.

John

This is not an issue in Plato. The output is retained when you run a console application from Plato.

Are you running your application from a Command Prompt window (DOS box)?

Is it a Windows application (using for example WINAPP) or a Console application?

Can you post a simple program that illustrates the problem?

Code:
      write (*,*) 'Hello there'
      end

Is it possible that the error is related to the file "plato3.ini"? because it is located in my desktop.

You are not getting far with this.
It is surprising that the hello world program does not appear to run.
Do you generate a .exe file ? If do, try opening a "DOS box" or Command Prompt and go to where the .exe is stored and try to run it. If that fails, you could have problems with the .exe, but you should get some error message at least.
The information you are providing is not very clear as to what the problem is.

Yes, there are .exe files generated. I tried opening a DOS box and running hello.exe, same thing happened, but there were no error messages. But when I ran a pogram that gets the BMI of a person, it asks for information and when it will print the BMI, the output box closes.
