Here's the warning that is generated:
remark #8293: Recommended relationship between field width 'W', the number of fractional digits 'D' and the number of exponential digits 'E' in this edit descriptor is 'W>=D+E+5'.
501 FORMAT(' Fuel Supply, ', A, ',', G12.6E2, ',' , G12.6E2, ',' , G12.6E2, ',', G12.6E2)
is this coming from a standard or just a "good" idea from the compiler authors?

Never mind -- I see the info in the documentation.

For more v12 warning fun compile with "/stand:f08". It will take your coding back about twenty years!
Right, if this is standard 08, why's it telling me a bunch of stuff wasn't in Fortran 90?
warning #7520: A data-initialization-expr on a component-def-stmt was not in Fortran 90.
It seems to know it's standard:
error #7262: Allowing a variable name that is not an array-variable-name as an actual argument for a corresponding array dummy is not standard Fortran 2008.
and errors out even though it's not supposed to (standard as warning errors).
Did you specify standards warnings should be errors?
/stand:f08 isn't documented and while accepted it doesn't work right.
No, I have standards warnings should not be errors.
Thought it might be fun to follow the recommendation -- obvious there is some more work to do. Not important (that is, I'm sure there are more important issues than looking at undocumented "features").

Linda,
The problem with /stand:f08 was fixed for Composer XE 2011 Update 6. We've tried to find all the places in the compiler where /stand:f08 should suppress the warning - if you or anyone else finds a case we didn't, please let us know.
Not sure if there is a problem or not. The warning is still there. It's just a warning. I don't have any standards checking turned on. (still there in Update 8)
The warning in the first post is not a standards warning, it's a "usage" warning. You can turn it off if you like. I just wanted to follow-up on the /stand:f08 issue.
Dear Steve,
Could u please tell me, how to disable the warning in user window other than DOS?
You disable warnings (though this appears to be a "remark") by /Qdiag-disable:
If you are using Visual Studio, you can supply any additional command line options, where a project property is not provided, on the Command Line property page.
