1284.0. "real*16 function causing run-time errors" by TLE::LUCIA (http://asaab.zko.dec.com/~lucia/biography.html) Tue May 06 1997 14:03

Can anyone shed some light on 

1. Why the unaligned access?
2. Is there a bug in the RTL?

I'm revisiting the list of debugger "to dos" for Fortran for the post-steel
release.

Thanks,
Tim

You never declared the types of "chf" or "realfun" inside "joe".  Add these
lines:

      program joe
>>      character*20 chf
>>      real*16 realfun
      print *, chf(1,2)
      print *, realfun(1.2, 2.3)
      end

Thanks, Bill.  I thought (obviously incorrectly) it applied per file...  I also
thought this example worked at one time.
