My apologies.  ran is defined in the program I extracted this from which 
 is 1000d.f found at netlib.  It is defined (see below) and so is not 
an intrinsic, but the error message implies that it is.

      DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION RAN( ISEED )
*
*     modified from the LAPACK auxiliary routine 10/12/92 JD
*  -- LAPACK auxiliary routine (version 1.0) --
*     Univ. of Tennessee, Univ. of California Berkeley, NAG Ltd.,
*     Courant Institute, Argonne National Lab, and Rice University
*     February 29, 1992
*
*     .. Array Arguments ..
      INTEGER            ISEED( 4 )
*     ..
*
*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  DLARAN returns a random real number from a uniform (0,1)
*  distribution.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  ISEED   (input/output) INTEGER array, dimension (4)
*          On entry, the seed of the random number generator; the array
*          elements must be between 0 and 4095, and ISEED(4) must be
*          odd.
*          On exit, the seed is updated.
*
*  Further Details
*  ===============
*
*  This routine uses a multiplicative congruential method with modulus
*  2**48 and multiplier 33952834046453 (see G.S.Fishman,
*  'Multiplicative congruential random number generators with modulus
*  2**b: an exhaustive analysis for b = 32 and a partial analysis for
*  b = 48', Math. Comp. 189, pp 331-344, 1990).
*
*  48-bit integers are stored in 4 integer array elements with 12 bits
*  per element. Hence the routine is portable across machines with
*  integers of 32 bits or more.
