FIX: /4Ys or $STRICT on Character Functions Causes F2368

MORE INFORMATION

FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 can be differentiated from the maintenance release version 1.0a by invoking the linker. Typing link32 | more from \F32\BIN directory will show version 2.8 for FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0, and it will show version 1.0f for the maintenance release version 1.0a.

The following sample code demonstrates the problem in version 1.00:

Sample Code

C Compile options needed: /4Ys or have $STRICT metacommand in the code

      character*1 function test
      test = 'test'
      end

C When compiled with /4Ys, the above code causes:
C    error F2368: 0000slen : truncated to 6 characters
