Allocate an array from inside a subroutine

[vinicius_reis]

Is it possible to allocate an array inside a subroutine? And after use that array in my main program?

Would somebody help me out with it?

Thanks,

If I wanted to do this, I would try defining the array as ALLOCATABLE In a module which I include in the main program and the subroutine. I would then ALLOCATE it in the subroutine and, before attempting to use it in the main program, test to see if it has been ALLOCATED or not. I do not know if the above will work, but there is no harm in trying it. Make sure you have some method of keeping track of it and DEALLOCATE it when not needed.

Using module works fine; I use this extensively to manage space in my stat package.

Tank you very much. I'm a little unexperienced!
