In the following code, if compiled with Checkmate 32, the error is flagged. It is not flagged in Release 32. I did a quick check of the other Plato options. None of the other compile/link options flag the error.

The code was compiled as FIXED FORMAT, wide source.

Code:

        integer i
j       i = i + 1
        end

The "J" in column 1 is in error; only checkmate 32 seems to pick it up. I know an "i" will do the same. I suspect anything but a "C" or "!" (or numbers) will also cause the compile error for /CHECKMATE, but not for /RELEASE.

I discovered this after deleting a section of code, and a "J" was left in column 1 of a real statement. I compile as both /CHECKMATE and /RELEASE, and noticed the flagging.

Can you check this. I can't reproduce this fault.

Are you using a command line or Plato?

Are you using an FTN95 configuration file?

I originally found this while running on the command line, then ran this in Plato (what I posted). It is possible that there is a command line switch set incorrectly in , say, the Checkmate 64 since I don't use it often. That said, the command line running of the compiler uses the same basic switches, changing out only the /CHECKMATE for /RELEASE. All the line format options are definitely the same!

Here's a DropBox link to the Plato project.

Your project settings include a significant number of command line options. Some of them are either redundant or not helpful.

The one that is causing the failure is /CFPP. I will make a note that this needs fixing.

I suggest that you start with the default options and only add those that you really need.

Good point. This workspace I'm using is used for all problem reports, and so has "morphed" over the years.

I'll clean it up.

This failure has now been fixed for the next release of FTN95.
