Why and how to avoid it?

Solution:

This Visual Fortran run-time error only occurs when there is a non ASCII character in the path and / or filename (ex notice the square in the name of the model after ',001')  Try to refrain from using the following:

( ) parenthesis

# pound

% percent

& ampersand

{ } left / right curly bracket

\ back slash

< left angle bracket

> right angle bracket

* asterisk

? question mark

/ forward slash

  blank spaces

$ dollar sign

! exclamation point

' single quotes

" double quotes

: colon

@ at sign

+ plus sign

` backtick

| pipe

= equal sign

Non-ASCII characters

ETC...

Workaround

Only use Standard ASCII characters with the exceptions mentioned above and do not use Extended ASCII Characters 

If compute region is non-English, make sure characters conform to that previously mentioned.
