Errors during executing the program (Compaq Visual Fortran)

• Comp Sci

Homework Statement

First of all, I used the Window xp & Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 installed in VMware workstation.
In my case, there are no compile and link errors in source code, and excuting that program is also done.
But I want to generate 300 random numbers by using my program (Log-normally distributed).
In the case of j=1,2,3,...,117, there is no errors. but,
the case of j is larger than 117, the error is occured (no error messages in window console, but
no calculation.................The calculation step is not progressed...).
The source code is attached below.........

<Input Data>
3.93e-5,235421, 65889643, 15484354, 1235487, 4758, 85697, 2.9624, -14.5322

2. Homework Equations

Algorithms 712: Generate a normally distributed pseudo-random number.
The algorithm uses the ratio of uniforms method of A.J. Kinderman and J.F. Monahan augmented with quadratic bonding curves.

The Attempt at a Solution

In the first time, I see the message "image expended maximum...." So, I added the ignore terms in setting menu, (/ignore:4084).

You should be aware that reading in strings of digits as a REAL variable will only provide a certain number of floating point digits in the program's internal data storage.

For example, READing in "65889643" for SEED1 will probably result in the value of 65889600 being stored for use in further calculations. The REAL data type in Fortran will store about 6-7 of the most significant digits of an input. If you want to store more digits, the DOUBLE PRECISION data type must be used.

What effect the truncation of the input values of SEED1, SEED2, and A1 has on subsequent calculations is unknown, but since the program terminates without obvious error messages being issued, you should insert some WRITE statements into your code to display or print key values of the calculations for checking after the program terminates.

Dear StreamKing
I really appreciate your help for me! :) It is really helpful for me. But.. I change the variables from real to real*8(double precision) and get more results..
For example, before (real*4 or real) ---> only the calculation step is obtained to 117 and
after the revision , I have got the results the step to 530 but ........I want 6000th step becuase I perform the montecarlo simulation..
Why the calculation step is stopped and there are no messages....
In Console window, I check the error,
write(*,*) j, kbdot(j), but the error is not appeared...........
What can I do............
Thansk you so much in advance!

Hi,

Use the debugger to see that after j = 117 you go into an infinite loop: Q(118) = 0.2798609 forever. > R2 hence goto 50 etcetera.

Oh my god !
It is really thank you T.T I am a starter of fortran........So It is really difficult to me...to find out the error............
I am very appreciate to BvU and StreamKing ! Have a good weekend!
