APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling .f90 files, mpxlf_r gives syntax errors
  because the compiler is taking .f90 files as the fixed
  format source files instead of free format source files.
  
  
  
  $xlf_r -F:mpxlf_r example.f90 -c
  "example.f90", line 1.0: 1515-005 (S) Continuation line is not
  permitted at beginning of program or after INCLUDE, EJECT,
  @PROCESS
  statements or comment directive.  Line is ignored.
  

Local fix

• Use option -qfree=f90
  

Problem summary

• mpxlf_r is a generic stanza, it should behave the same as xlf_r.
  But xlf_r can compile the .f90 file while mpxlf_r can't, because
  it defaults to taking .f90 files as the fixed
  format source files instead of free format source files.
  

Problem conclusion

• The compiler is fixed so that it treats
  mpxlf_r and mpxlf_r7
  as generic stanzas.
  

Temporary fix
