1309.0. "Visual Fortran - unable to call a function" by CSC32::D_SANFORD () Wed May 21 1997 17:10

    Digital Visual Fortran V5.0

    Customer is porting OpenVMS Fortran code to MS using Visual Fortran
    and uses the following:


	INTEGER func

	CALL func()
	END

	INTEGER func()
	func=1
	END

    With Visual Fortran this fails to compile with:

      file.for(4) : Error: This subroutine has already been used in a 
      type statement.

    This fails on the "CALL func()" statement.  I told him to call it 
    as a function, but he does not want to change his VAX code.

    Any suggestions?

Sorry - this is something which we enforce in all our Fortran 90 compilers,
including the one on OpenVMS.  We let people get away with it in F77, but
it was technically against the standard there too.
