Digital Visual FORTRAN floating point exception handling?

From: "bachman, william" <bachmanw@globomax.com> Subject: Digital Visual FORTRAN floating point exception handling? Date: 10 Dec 1997 08:56:14 -0500 I recently switched to Digital Visual FORTRAN (DVF) running Windows NT 4.0 in the middle of an-going project. The model which ran fine under Powerstation 4.0 or Sun FORTRAN under Solaris 2.6 now terminated on the first iteration with DVFand generated the following message: forrtl: error <72> floating overflow indicating at least a difference in how floating point exceptions (e.g. overflow) are handled. I downloaded the latest update for DVF, 5.0B, and installed it. Although a quick perusal of the release notes gave no indication of differences or bugs fixed related to floating point exceptions, the problem now runs as under PS 4.0 or Sun FORTRAN.
