well, that's what line numbers are for!
generally this error message means that you're still in the loop
and have gone past the upper bound.

check the array reference in column 190 of line 6691

you will have declared any of the following arrays
with the index J
as
array ABC (&nphenos) ...?
array DEF (&nloci) ...?
right?
