critical impact:

cDEC$ - not recognized (CrUn325)

Problem description

The cDEC$ general compiler directive prefix is not recognized by the HP Fortran compiler.

Compaq Fortran uses the cDEC$ general compiler directive prefix, where c is one of the following:

• C, c, or * in fixed and tab source format.
• ! in free source format.

Identifiers

!DEC$

*DEC$

CDEC$

Solution description

HP Fortran has different general directive prefixes and does not recognize these general directive prefixes. Source code changes will be required.

Change cDEC$ to comment-character$HP$, where comment-character is one of the following:

• ! in free-source format.
• C, c, or * in fixed-source format.

In fixed-source format, comment-character must be in column 1.
