NAME CHECK TO...

Syntax:

NAME CHECK [TO] { CHECK | IGNORE } { LOCALS | LOCAL VARIABLES | [FORMAL] ARGUMENTS | COMMON [BLOCK] NAMES | DEFAULT SIZES | ARRAY BOUNDS | FIELD ADDRESSES | ALL }

Function:

The sensitivity of the name check is controlled by the commands:

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} LOCAL VARIABLES

- controls checking of inconsistencies which involve ONLY local variables, sub-program formal arguments or statement function formal arguments.

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} [FORMAL] ARGUMENTS

- controls reporting of the inconsistency where a name is used for a formal argument in one sub-program and for a local variable in another.

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} COMMON BLOCK NAMES

- controls reporting of the use of the same name for a variable and for a COMMON block.

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} DEFAULT SIZES

- controls reporting of an inconsistency when the same name is used for a logical or numeric object which has an explicitly declared data size in one sub-program and an implied size in another. For example, where X is declared REAL*4 X in one sub-program and REAL X in another. An error might occur if the code were ported to a system with a different default data size.

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} ARRAY BOUNDS

- controls reporting of inconsistent array bounds between objects with the same name in different sub-programs.

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} FIELD ADDRESSES

- controls checking that fields with the same name have the same addresses within different structures.

NAME CHECK TO {CHECK | IGNORE} ALL

- controls all of the optional checks described above.
