     FORTRAN compilation error F2562
 
     cannot pass CHARACTER*(*) by value
 
     The program tried to pass by value an item of type CHARACTER*(*).
     This is illegal because the length of such items is not known at
     compile time.
 
     Actual arguments with a length of <n> can be passed to CHARACTER*n
     items, and these items can be passed by value, if required.
