The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Fortran Powerstation 32 for Windows NT, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Visual Workbench Format Editor at first correctly displays formats with
repeatable A edit descriptors. However, when clicking the resulting character
string, the A edit descriptor in the FORMAT statement drops the repeat value. If
the FORMAT statement is then clicked, the format displays as if there is no
repeat value on the A edit descriptor.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation for Windows
NT, version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation
32, version 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To reproduce the problem mentioned above, follow these steps:

1. Enter the sample program below in the Visual Workbench and save the file to
  disk.

2. Click the FORMAT statement.

3. From the Tools menu, choose Format Editor.

4. In the Format Editor window, click the text box (above the ruler). Enter the
  format changes.

5. Click the FORMAT statement; the text box will be smaller.

Sample Code
