Richard,
outcome? I suppose it could be fixed by suppressing the length
arguments or by creating special character versions of the library
routines.
Does anyone have any thoughts about that?
Yes, as I said to you off-list, this was discussed some while back:
Indeed, you can drop the character length arguments for intrinsic
functions and they all work fine. I tested this and it works for each
and every case.
However, Paul B did not like it, on consistency grounds, and so the
second solution is the preferred one. I discussed it with Thomas
Koenig, who is our expert on this part of the library; I am not sure
whether he has put the job in his own queue or was assuming that I would
do it!
