FIX: Divide by Zero Run-Time Error Not Produced

MORE INFORMATION

FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0 for MS-DOS 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 for MS-DOS, and it will show version 1.0f for the maintenance release version 1.0a. This problem is rare because almost every program written uses run-time functions. To make the program give the proper run-time error, use any run-time routine such as WRITE to ensure the run-time routines are part of the executable. The sample code below will exhibit the run-time error. If the WRITE statement is removed, the code will complete without an error.

Sample Code

C compile options needed: none
C

       a=1.
       b=0.
       c=a/b
       write (*,*) c
       end
