error message in plato

Question

I am very new Fortran and I am doing some elementary practice. I have installed Plato latest edition. I found this program in the net, and try to compile it

program dotprod
  implicit none
  real :: c
  real, dimension(3) :: a, b
  print*,'Enter first vector'
  read*, a
  print*,'Enter second vector'
  read*, b
  c = a(1)*b(1) + a(2)*b(2) + a(3)*b(3)
  print*,'Dot product = ', c

end program dotprod

Plato shows no sign of error when I build and compile, but when I try to run the program the following error message shows up: the executable does not exist.

can anyone help me explain how to handle this error ?

thanks

you are using a commercial compiler, contact customer support it the installation docs are not adequate. — agentp, May 31 '14 at 21:56
Start with a simple command line tool, there should be one also in Silverfrost. AFAIK it is gfortran in the latest version.There is not enough info in your post to diagnose the problem. — Vladimir F Героям слава, Jun 02 '14 at 05:56
Always use tag [tag:fortran] and only add the version when necessary to distinguish that your question is specific. For example that you cannot use Fortran 2008 but only Fortran 90. — Vladimir F Героям слава, Dec 17 '15 at 11:42

Maybe your file name is too long. I had the same error message, and then I saved the file using another shorter name and suddenly it worked... I also tried your code and it works on my Plato (FTN95 Personal Edition (FTN95PE) version 7.20) on windows 10.
