Re: fortran question

From: Pierre Maitre <maitre@cdg.ch> Subject: Re: fortran question Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 18:23:55 +0100 Dear Joern In Fortran 77, the fortran statement can be written from column 7 to column 72. Columns 1 to 6 and columns 73 to 80 are reserved. In particular, columns 1 to 5 are reserved for statement numbers, and column 6 is reserved for CONTINUATION CHARACTER. So is you want write a long fortran statement, start your second line by putting a character in columns 6. Any nonblank character - except zero, is ok. Most people put a "*" there. A fortran statement may have several continuation lines if it is too long to fit on one line. Best regards.
