I liked this extension at the times of DEC Fortran and always wanted it to be included into this compiler

It would be useful for sure. Thanks

The code snippet uses a nonstandard Fortran extension called "Variable Format Expression" or "VFE". See PROGRAM VFE

Given the error message, it is unlikely to be supported.

What version of FORTRAN did you copy the code from? What is this formatting syntax intended to do?

There are usually ways around, or thro ...

I entered this simple code I copied from a Fortran manual and tried compiling, since I have use for this type of formatting tool.

DIMENSION A(5)
DATA A/1.,2.,3.,4.,5./
DO 10 I= ...

I did that. With an induced error I got in the command window:

*** unpaired right brackets
1 error [ <main program> ftn95/win32 v7.00.0]
*** compilation failed

As usual, nothing more ...

Hello JohnC. First I appreciate your knowledgable technical concern (and curiousity). Thinking upon the problem last night, there is a possible variable that affects the default error message 'probl ...

OK gang, here goes for the last time. For whatever &^$^* reason, /ftn95 filename.f in my command window does not show error line numbers. I am not an unobservant idiot. As a previous long time ...

Yes John Silver. I removed both options you noted and the compile error line number did show up in the Command window. The only option in my .cfg file was reduced to /BRIEF However without /BRIE ...

John C. I intentionally created the errors to check compiling! I realize there should not be .. in the do statement. /brief cures the problem. Without it, the command window does not give line nu ...

OK Mr. C and mecej4, here is some info.
First I created ftn95.cfg (I have never had one created) with options;
/BRIEF
/ERRORLOG
/LIST

Then compiling on the Command line I get a file created o ...

Well I found that by typing ftn95 filename.f/brief on the command line, the compiler listed the line number before describing the 'unterminated character constant" error. Hopefully this is ...

Yes, mecej4 I have been successfully compiling and running many programs on version 7.00 for years. I use ftn95 and slink on the command line . I do not recall setting any environment. When I open ...

I don't have version 8.6. I have version 7.0. Maybe that is the difference, but line numbers do no appear anywhere in the compile error, unlike what you just showed. Thanks but my command line has ...

OK. I intentionally created this error:

write(6,"(' Enter the 1" aluminum disk radius (in): ',$)")
The xtra " is an error. Here is what I got:

***"Unterminated ...

Simple request. I currently compile with ftn95 filename.f

The errors do not include line numbers of the infraction. Since some of the error messages are rather 'obtuse' is there a way of getting ...
