SYMPTOMS
========
Attempting to embed a character string that contains one or more spaces into an
object code (.obj) file by using the /V compiler option causes all the
characters following the first space in the character string to be ignored. As a
result, the characters are not embedded into the object file.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Create a source file (Myfile.for) that contains the following sample code:
! Compile options needed: /V
print *, 'Embedded Message'
end
2. Compile the source file using the /V compiler option along with the string
("Embedded String"). At the MS-DOS command-line prompt, type:
" fl32 /V"Embedded String" myfile.for " (without the quotation marks)
3. Check the object file for the string. Create an object code dump file by
using the Dumpbin.exe utility. At the MS-DOS command-line prompt, type:
" dumpbin /all myfile.obj > myfile.txt " (without the quotation marks)
4. Search the dump file (Myfile.txt) for the string ("Embedded String"). Note
that searching the dump file yields only the "Embedded" part of the string in
the RAW DATA #2 section.
