Compile error/warning then I/O syntax error

[Francisco_P_]

Hi

I am trying to build a meteorological model in a Linux cluster (Ubuntu 12.04) using Intel fortran compiler version 14.0.1. But when trying to compile fdgrib2 module I get this warning message:

/opt/intel/bin/ifort -c  -I. /usr/local/rams60/src/pre/fdgrib2/grib_get.f90
/usr/local/rams60/src/pre/fdgrib2/grib_get.f90(209): warning #8042: This argument must be of type character of length 1.   [TOKENS]
   print*,'5--'//trim(tokens(1)), len_trim(tokens(1)),ichar(tokens(1))
------------------------------------------------------------^
ar rs fdgrib2.a grib_get.o
rm -f grib_get.o

Despite this warning the fdgrib2 executable is built but when trying to run stops with another error message:

/usr/local/rams60/build/fdgrib2$ ./fdgrib2 -f DGRIB_IN2
 num args:           2

fdgrib2 process finishes at commands on grib_get.f90

  [fortran] call tokenize_ws(lines(1),tokens,ntok)
   nb = index(tokens(1),'=')+1
   ne = len_trim(tokens(1))
   read(tokens(1)(nb:ne),*) longdate [/fortran]

I am not an expert fortran programmer so I am not sure how to deal with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Warnings don't stop compilation. The warning doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I would need to see the declaration of TOKENS to understand it better. I tried guessing as to what you might have and could not reproduce a problem.

The run-time error means that the contents of the string didn't meet the formatting requirements for whatever datatype LONGDATE is. Without seeing the source, as well as the contents of the character variable, I can't help further.

Thanks Steve for answering.

I have also asked this question in StackOverflow forum. Please, take a look at the discussion there. Had some suggestion that led to teh same conclusion about LONGDATE. You can also find links to tar files with code and input data (first tar, second tar)

Thanks again and best regards
