I'm not sure what you mean by "solving". If you simply want to run the
program, I would ignore the warning: While the program is invalid
Fortran 95/2003, it was valid in Fortran 77 and only depricated in
Fortran 90. Therefore, I assume that really all Fortran compilers will
continue to support the ASSIGN statement.

If you are actively maintaining the program, you could consider
replacing the ASSIGN statement.

If you want to get rid of the printed warning message, you can use -w to
surpress _all_ warnings.
