Glen, Long long ago and on a different continent, I was writing a FORTRAN F program and ran into a similar issue by accident. I was compiling the program the first time and I got a B37 on the object deck. I had initialized the large array with zero's after figuring out the issue it was easier to initialized the array with zeros with a do loop (I have forgotten what the FORTRAN statement was). It was an interesting learning experience.
