Hi all

I'm trying to compile a program which I need for my university final year project. However, I keep getting various errors (other users do not appear to have experienced this, but they have different compilers which I can't afford!) The current one I am unable to understand. The code says

C Set size of problem here:
C
parameter
C -- file2ic (iproblem=3)
C $ (im=41 ,jm=61 ,kb=16)
C -- seamount (iproblem=1)
$ im=65, jm=49, kb=21

And Plato says

D:\PRCE\PRCE507\POM\runPOM\pom2k(28 ) : error 699 - Invalid character '$' at start of line (In include file D:\PRCE\PRCE507\POM\runPOM\pom2k)
D:\PRCE\PRCE507\POM\runPOM\pom2k(28 ) : error 431 - Unexpected ',' in assignment (In include file D:\PRCE\PRCE507\POM\runPOM\pom2k)

Where is the problem? I thought parameter (p=x,p=x,p=x) was a valid format? And the dollar sign tells the compiler to take the declared constants as given? Please help!

Thanks in advance
Kami

If you are writing Fortran with fixed format then continuation symbols must appear in column 6. Make sure that tabs are converted to spaces in your editor/IDE.

Whatever the problem, this is just not recognisable Fortran.

I just realised what you are saying. The lines came from an include file, which did not have a .f extension and so did not come up with the nice red and blue highlighting to help identify fields. Sorted that one now. Thank you!
