A fix has been implemented into the next release of the DOE-2 DLL’s linked into 3.65; this new 3.65 release is almost through internal testing and is expected to be available in the next month. The problem is not experienced in the exe versions of stand-alone DOE-2. There is no workaround except sometimes selecting a reduced or alternative list of output reports may get around the problem. This problem only impacts the .sim files produced by DLL versions of DOE-2 and does not impact the binary DOE-2 results files used to product eQUEST graphics of other reports.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Details of the problem (only useful for developers): The Intel runtime system reads past the end of the output format for a report and gets confused finding parts of other formats for other reports in later portions of the array, and issues the error. So the error is not caused by the actual line of data being written to the report but rather other not visible information that was not expected to be seen by the runtime system. The fix is to ensure that the character array where the report format is stored when passed to the runtime library is blank filled after or ends at the end of the report format being processed so that the runtime system stops processing when the format ends rather than continues processing after the format ends until it finds the end of the array passed.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>Jeff Hirsch</span></b><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><br>James J.
