Warning compiling data structure

Someone of my types produces erratic results which I suspect might
correlate somehow to the following warning:
"Warning: Because of COMMON, the alignment of object is inconsistent
with its type [TYPE_NAME]".
Does anybody know what the problem could be?
How can I solve it?
Help is much appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Sounds as though you have a situation like

common/x/c, r
character c
real r

which causes r to fall on an unnatural boundary. This often occurs also if c
is real and r double precision.

1) put the largest data objects first;

2) use variables in modules rather than common.
