6.2.2 Variable FORMAT expressions
A variable FORMAT
expression is format statement which includes angle brackets enclosing a Fortran expression: FORMAT(I<N>)
. GNU Fortran does not support this legacy extension. The effect of variable format expressions can be reproduced by using the more powerful (and standard) combination of internal output and string formats. For example, replace a code fragment like this:
WRITE(6,20) INT1 20 FORMAT(I<N+1>)
with the following:
c Variable declaration CHARACTER(LEN=20) FMT c c Other code here... c WRITE(FMT,'("(I", I0, ")")') N+1 WRITE(6,FMT) INT1
or with:
c Variable declaration CHARACTER(LEN=20) FMT c c Other code here... c
