I'm trying to port some poorly written software to the RIOS box ( IBM RS6000 model 540 ), and ran into a "slight" problem. It appears that the xlf compiler will not allow me to initialize ( via the data statement ) a named common block withen a subroutine other than block data. At least 6 months ago I talked with someone withen IBM that mentioned this and stated that this only refers to blank common not named common blocks. Since the code ( several hundred thousand lines ) would be practically impossible to convert -- does ANYONE KNOW OF ANY hidden or not hidden option that would allow me to do this? Thanks, -- Jim Ray Harris Semiconductor Internet: jdr@semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62B-022 Phone: (407) 729-5059 Melbourne, FL 32901
