[net.bugs.4bsd] reposting: problem in f77

trq@astrovax.UUCP (Thomas R. Quinn) (03/19/84)

I have sent the following bug report to berkely:

Subject: problem with parameters in f77
Index:	usr.bin/f77 4.2BSD

Description:
	Assigning an integer to the sum of an integer and "0" times "iparam"
	where the value of "iparam" is defined in a parameter statement results
	in the integer being assigned the value "0".
Repeat-By:
	Compile and run the following program under f77.


	parameter(IRED = 256)
	iwrblk = 10 + 0*IRED
	print *,iwrblk
	end

	The program will print "0" instead of the correct value "10".  Note
	that the statement
		print *, 10 + 0*IRED
	will print the correct value.
