Hi all
I wrote a fortran program which need as inputs :
- a binary file named : Filename
- the fortran unit of this binary file : Fileunit
- 4 real values : freqA , freqZ , dsx , dsy
- 1 integer : dfreq

The ouput is a 3D array named ' radmat '

I actually want to know how to run my fortran program [the excutable is called ' ishellexe '],
i think i need to specify in the same line the input values , but i do not know how
please help me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/csh -f
echo''
echo' modal acoustic radiation impedance '
setxvar=($argv[1])
#
set dfreq = $xvar[7]
set dsx = $xvar[11]
set dsy = $xvar[12]
set freqA = $xvar[13]
set freqZ = $xvar[14]
set Fileunit = $xvar[27]
set Filename = $xvar[31]
#
set Filename = �eval echo $Filename�
#
ishellexe
#
echo ' end of computation'
echo ''

You could consider using the routine GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT and place the values in your batch file. The .bat command could be something like:

ishellexe %Filename% %freqA% %freqZ% %dsx% %dsy% %dfreq%

The fortran code needs to be something like
DO I = 1,6
call get_Command_Argument (i, String, l, status)
select case (i)
case (1)
file_name = string
case (2:6)
read (string, '(bn,f10.0)', iostat=iostat) val(i)
end select
END DO

You would need to add some status and iostat tests.
Including some other command line options, such as /freqA to name the arguments might also help, as would be assuming some default values.

Why do you need to provide Fileunit ?

Otherwise you need to provide the answers in a text file and either read from the file or provide the answers via "< text_file"

Apollo batch files provide data input from the .bat file via <$, which unfortunately DOS never adopted.
I'm sure there are other batch processors, better than cmd.exe which provide this, but my suggestion above does work in a cmd.exe environment.

John
when reading the binary file i need to go throug the records of the file
for that i need the fileunit.

but this is not the problem.

I am using a module called ISHELL , it is from msc nastran. the vaules of dfreq, freqA, freqZ, dsx, dsy, filename and fileunit are already specified.

so now i am unsing CSHELL scripting to parse these values
and input them to my fortran program:

this should be ok according to the documentation of msc nastran
setxvar=($argv[1])
#
set dfreq = $xvar[7]
set dsx = $xvar[11]
set dsy = $xvar[12]
set freqA = $xvar[13]
set freqZ = $xvar[14]
set Fileunit = $xvar[27]
set Filename = $xvar[31]
#
set Filename = �eval echo $Filename�


but now the problem is as i said how to provide this to the fortran program:

is it like this ?
ishellexe %Filename% %freqA% %freqZ% %dsx% %dsy% %dfreq%


or like this
ishellexe $Filename $freqA $freqZ $dsx $dsy $dfreq

and how i should change my fortran program accordingly?

thank you
john

I'm a bit confused by your question.
I assumed your "module" was some .bat (like) script that you used to run your program ishellexe.exe

What is the module ISHELL ? It does not appear to be a FORTRAN module.
