FIX: Compiler Displays Incorrect Line-Number Information

SYMPTOMS

An attempt to compile a file that contains more than 32767 source lines may produce incorrect line-number information for compile-time error and warning messages appearing after the 32767th line in a file. The line numbers displayed are either negative or fall in the 0 (zero) to 32767 range.

When compiling from within the Visual Workbench, you cannot automatically jump to lines containing these invalid line numbers.

      end do
      write(1,*)   '     x == x + 1'
      write(1,*)   '     print*, x'
      write(1,*)   '     end'
