CALL SYSTEM from Fortran

I found a problem with CALL SYSTEM from Fortran under Windows 7 64 bits.

The following small program:

call system('dir')
stop
end

shows the dir.

Under Windows XP 32 bits the directory shown is the current working directory (it is correct).

Under Windows 7 64 bits, the directory shown is the root directory n(it is a problem).

The same program shows the current working directory (the correct) when I run it from cmd.

Similar problems with other commands as delete, copy, etc.


Regards.

I suspect that your TCSTART.BTM on Win7 contains a command to change directory, while the one on your WinXP system does not.

The last I knew (a long time ago) "system" (in "C") used CMD.EXE regardless of
%COMSPEC. Has that changed? Is it different with Fortran?

That would depend on the RTL used when linking. With an MS-supplied RTL I'd not be surprised the above to be true.
