BUG: Incorrect Output with CARRIAGECONTROL='fortran' Option

MORE INFORMATION

In the following sample code, the File1.out file opened with the option CARRIAGECONTROL='fortran' does not use the space created with the "1X" positional edit descriptor in the WRITE statement as a carriage control. Instead, the very first character in the variable "line" is incorrectly interpreted as a carriage control. File2.out does not use the Fortran carriage control option, so both the space and the character string are correctly written to the file with no problems.

Sample Code to Illustrate Problem

C Compile options needed: none

      character*50 line

      line = 'carriage control'

      open(12,file='file1.out', carriagecontrol='fortran')
      open(14,file='file2.out')

      WRITE(12,'(1X,A50)') line  ! 1X not used as carriage control
      WRITE(14,'(1X,A50)') line  ! 1X used as carriage control
      WRITE(*,'(1X,A50)') line

      close(12)
      close(14)

      end

Output - Screen:

carriagecontrol

Output - File1.out:

 arriagecontrol

Output - File2.out:

 carriagecontrol
