BUG: NAMELIST Output Incorrect with Renamed USE Variables

• Microsoft Fortran PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you rename a module's NAMELIST group name and its object variables with the USE statement and perform a WRITE of the NAMELIST, the original module NAMELIST names are written instead of their aliases.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

In the output of the following sample code, the NAMELIST group name "&N" and its object variable "J" are written to both the display and to the Namelist.fil file when their aliases "&NN" and "JJ" should have been written.

Sample Code to Demonstrate Problem

C Compile options needed: none

      MODULE M
        NAMELIST /N/ I, J
      END MODULE

      PROGRAM NAME_LIST
        USE M , NN => N, JJ => J
        I = 1
        JJ = 2
        OPEN(UNIT=10,FILE="NAMELST.FIL",DELIM="APOSTROPHE")
        WRITE(10, NML=NN)
        REWIND 10
        READ(10,NN)
        WRITE(*,*) 'Got: '
        WRITE(*,NN)
        WRITE(*,'(" Expected:   ",A)') " &NN  I = 1, JJ = 2 /"
      END PROGRAM NAME_LIST

Output

I =            1
J =            2
/
Expected:    &NN  I = 1, JJ = 2 /
