Look at ALLOCATABLE arrays. If an ALLOCATABLE array is a local variable in a routine, and not given the SAVE attribute, it gets automatically deallocated on routine exit.<BR /><BR />Steve Wed, 20 Jun 2001 03:36:21 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/How-to-define-temporary-arryas-at-execution-time/m-p/955240#M20636 Steven_L_Intel1 2001-06-20T03:36:21Z
