Command line/File folder info

Intel_C_Intel · ‎10-02-2003

Someone is asking about moving some Fortran programs into Compaq Fortran. He has a library that works with Lahey that gets command line arguments and gets file/folder info.

Is there an easy way to get these items in Compaq Fortran?

GETARG gets command line arguments. GETFILEINFOQQ can get file and folder info,

In the new proposed Fortran standard (unofficially Fortran 2003) there is a standardized way of getting the command line arguments, for example subroutines "Get_command" and "Get_command_argument". You can download implementations of the "F2KCLI" module (Fortran 2K Command Line Interface) for a number of different compilers from, among others, www.winteracter.com/f2kcli/.
In this way you can start using the standard calls right away without having to wait for Fortran 2003.

I use F2KCLI myself for CVF and VMS Fortran.

There is nothing standardized for File folder info, though.
