Error Messages
Cause. The FORTRAN rules for statement ordering within a program unit have been 
violated. For example, a declarative statement or a statement function definition follows 
an executable statement. Note that any statement of the form
name (anything) = anything
is taken as a statement function definition if the name has not been declared as an 
array.
Recovery. Correct the statement sequence, or correct the statement if the name is a 
misspelled array name.
Cause. This statement contains more than 1320 characters. This can happen 
although you have not exceeded the limit of 19 continuation lines, if source lines are 
longer than 72 characters and you do not select the ANSI option.
Recovery. Correct the source.
Cause. A dummy argument of a statement function is not a simple variable.
Recovery. Change the argument to a simple variable.
Cause. A zero-length character string was found.
Recovery. Correct the string.
Cause. The title string in a PAGE directive contains more than 128 characters.
Recovery. Shorten the title.
STATEMENT OUT OF ORDER

STMT FN ARG MUST BE SIMPLE VARIABLE
