Compiler option or !DEC$ DEFINE?

[Intel_C_Intel]

I'm looking for a way to mirror the operation of C++'s '#pragma once' in FORTRAN.

I guess !DEC$ DEFINE is what I want, but is there a compiler option for this?

Why do you need that? It's much less useful in Fortran than in C++ because Fortran does not have source file scope. I think it could happen only if you had adeep treeof INCLUDE statements (in which case it cries for redesign anyway ;-) ),

Yeah, the joys of updating / maintaining other peoples code ;o)

I just got around my problem by using PRIVATE in my MODULE - really I shouldn't have a mixed of MODULEs and COMMON blocks....
