Are you using the MPI F90 bindings perchance?

If so, the issue could be that the prototype for MPI_FILE_SET_VIEW is:

interface MPI_File_set_view

subroutine MPI_File_set_view(fh, disp, etype, filetype, datarep, &
        info, ierr)
  include 'mpif-config.h'
  integer, intent(in) :: fh
  integer(kind=MPI_OFFSET_KIND), intent(in) :: disp
  integer, intent(in) :: etype
  integer, intent(in) :: filetype
  character(len=*), intent(in) :: datarep
  integer, intent(in) :: info
  integer, intent(out) :: ierr
end subroutine MPI_File_set_view

end interface

and you might need a variable to be explicitly typed "integer (kind=MPI_OFFSET_KIND)" -- perhaps there's no promotion from an integer constant to that type...? I'm not enough of a fortran expert to know.

Hello all,

I am a newbie at much of mpi application and try to provide support for various users in the hpc community. I have run into something that I don't quite understand. I have some code that is meant to open a file for reading, but at compile time I get "Could not resolve generic procedure mpi_file_set_view"

I am using openmpi 1.2-1 compiled with Torque and the PGI compilers.

The oddity is that when I change the line from:
call MPI_FILE_SET_VIEW(fh, 0, MPI_REAL4, MPI_REAL4, 'native', MPI_INFO_NULL, ierr)
To:
call MPI_FILE_SET_VIEW(fh, empty, MPI_REAL4, MPI_REAL4, 'native', MPI_INFO_NULL, ierr)

It compiles fine. I don't understand why I get an error when passing a literal integer rather than using a variable for a placeholder for the displacement argument.

Any feedback or information to help me learn is appreciated.
