Remaining Characters (Q)

[Thomas Koenig]

Hi Vincent,

> Apparently, gfortran does not recognize 'Q' descriptor. Is there an alternative for this in gfortran?

There is no direct alternative, but as it happens, I recently fixed this
in some old code.

Instead of

   read (10,1000) i1, i2

1000 format (q, i20)

I used an internal unit instad, something like

    character(len=80) line

    read (10,'(A)') line
    i1 = len_trim(line)
    read (unit=line,fmt='(I20)') i2

which worked for my case.

Maybe we should add the Q edit descriptor to the gfortran manual's 
chapter dealing with unsupported extensions.

Regards
