Hi all, I have an f90 code which when compile gives the following error:
Error Argument of ichar at (1) must be of length one
The lines are:
[!Flag for NaN values
E_det=-1D6
DO j=M_det,1,-1
DO i=1,N_det
read(7,*) E_det_strg(i,j)
n_strg=ICHAR(E_det_strg(i,j))]
and
!Skips NaN (FA no-data points)
n_strg=ICHAR(FA_strg(i,j))
IF ((n_strg<=47.OR.n_strg>57).AND.n_strg/=45) CYCLE
How can I resolve this? Thank you. |

The intrinsic function ICHAR takes as argument a character of length 1. Your code seems to be passing instead a REAL or double precision argument.
How to fix? That depends on what is intended to be done with the code. The fragment that you showed does not convey enough information to permit one to give a recommendation. |

Thanks mecej4. The code is from a published article (Fullea et al., 2008. FA2BOUG—A FORTRAN 90 code to compute Bouguer gravity anomalies from gridded free-air anomalies). Lines 181 and 260 contains ICHAR. If you don't mind, I can email it. I truncated some part due to the length of the text.

At first sight E_det_strg appears to be an array of CHARACTER variables and the line should possibly be...
Code: | n_strg=ICHAR(E_det_strg(i,j)(1:1) |
But it might be a logical error in the program. As it is, n_strg is the ASCII value of the first character of element (i,j) of the array. Maybe it is intended to be something else. You will need to trace the value of n_strg through the program to see what it does.
ICHAR('0') is 48 whilst ICHAR('9') is 57. So the above seems about right. |

Geomarine, your code extract still leaves out the declarations of the variables that occur in the line flagged by the compiler as erroneous.
However, if Paul's guess about E_det_strg is correct, the code is in error since the argument of the ICHAR intrinsic must be a character variable of length 1. The exclusion of unsuitable strings can be done with the following code, as well, which is a bit more readable.
Code: |
program xbug
implicit none
character(4), dimension(2,3) :: E_det_strg
real, dimension(2,3) :: FA
integer :: i,j
character :: c1
do i=1,2
do j=1,2
c1=E_det_strg(i,j)(1:1) ! first character of string
if((llt(c1,'0').and.c1.ne.'-').or.lgt(c1,'9'))cycle
read(E_strg(i,j),*)FA(i,j)
end do
end do
end program xbug |

Instead of the ICHAR intrinsic, the LLT and LGT intrinsics have been used.

There are two places where ICHAR is used with an argument of length other than 1: lines 166 and 243. The program may have been developed and used with compilers that allowed such sloppy usage. Either of the fixes suggested earlier can be used.
Gfortran says: Code: | $gfortran -ffixed-form *.f95 -o main
main.f95:166:22:
n_strg=ICHAR(E_det_strg(i,j))
1
Error: Argument of ichar at (1) must be of length one
main.f95:243:21:
n_strg=ICHAR(FA_strg(i,j))
1
Error: Argument of ichar at (1) must be of length one |
There are numerous implicitly typed real variables and they are used together with double precision variables. Unless further examination of the code shows otherwise, it should be assumed that the final results are only single-precision quality, even for variables declared as double-precision.

The use of ICHAR appears to test if the first character of the string read starts with a number. An alternative could be to read the string as a number and use iostat=iostat or test if the character field is a known non numeric, say "NaN"
The following read may be a better test for a valid number.
READ(E_det_strg(i,j),*, iostat=iostat) E_det(i,j)
if (iostat /= 0 ) cycle
There are other problems with this code, especially the use of file unit numbers 1,2 and 5 and some of the if constructs.
"REAL(8), PARAMETER :: pi=3.14159" is also questionable ( I prefer pi = 4*atan(1.0d0) )
I would check with the authors to finds out if there is a revised version of this program |
