What is run-time error F6501?
in [Fortran]

From: Tunjang on 16 Jan 2007 12:16 i had compile and build my program and got no error...when i try to execute file.exe i find out that the run-time error F6501 occur...im using Window Xp....im using Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 4.0..then i find out that the requirement for the program is for window NT and 95...is it error F6501 is because the fortran did not support Window Xp?..or is that any other reason...?...need help...tq p/s: any idea what type of fortran version that support Window Xp?

Normally a Fortran program compiled for a Windows environment will run in all Windows operating systems. However the earlier Microsoft Fortran compilers don't know about XP. The 95 and 98 operating systems are DOS-based. The first NT systems (diskette-distributed) are different from the later MS 2000 and XP systems on CD-Roms. If your program is simple and does not try to control serial or parallel ports it should STILL compile and run as a DOS program if compiled for that mode, on any Windows system including on NT and XP systems. You could try compiling it that way as a test and see if you still get run-time messages. But if you are performing a SYSTEM or SPAWN call from a DOS-mode program you must increase the stack size of the linked program by #4000 because WIndows security updates take some of the DOS stack. This normally gives an Stack Overflow 2000 error message. I sitll compile Fortran programs with the Microsoft V3.31 compiler (better than the later MS Professional), and the resulting executables run in all DOS and Windows environments as console-executed programs (or ou just click on the name). So I suspect your problem is external to the program. If I use SYSTEM or SPAWN in a console (DOS-mode) program I increase the stack size using Exemod.exe. Other modern Fortran compilers which I have and use for Windows mode operations are DVF6.6 and Intel 9.0. Then you have Lahey F95 and Gfortran available which I have not tried.

Most of us are not familiar with the runtime errors from the Microsoft FPS compiler -- can you tell us what descriptive text (if any) is issued with the error?

If you only get the error number and not the text that is associated with it, then you either don't have the full install or are missing an environment variable to the text of the error messages. At this point, I can no longer recall enough of anything about FPS to even have a ghost of a chance of telling you what the files were or what the particular evnvironment setup would be, but if you have the original distribution, it will include a batch file that will set the environment from which you can see what is set and how, and the distribution also should include the "readme" and user notes for installation...

Googling the words "run-time error F6501" yielded the following: http://www.glue.umd.edu/~nsw/ench250/comp-err.htm Uff da is the first thing that came to mind. :o) It seems to be a comprehensive list. Clicking on the error code in question yields: FORTRAN run-time error F6501 end of file encountered The program tried to read more data than the file contains. Of course, I'm assuming a generic "MS FORTRAN" compiler is the same as the OPs compiler. Maybe it's not. cheers, paulv -- Paul van Delst Ride lots.
