Jerry, Bruce, Thank you both for your questions and suggestions.
They led me to ECLTYPE=P and BASICTYPE="P". The program compiled *after* I set BASICTYPE="P", even though there is no mention in the documentation regarding the EXECUTE statement that the RTNLIST option only works when BASICTYPE is set to "P". I looks like the Unidata documentation isn't any better than the Universe documentation. Without you and others in this group, I'd be lost.
