How to read long lines

[Intel_C_Intel]

Sorry if this is a trivial question:

How do I read a long line (>132 characters) into a character*512 variable?

I seem to remember opening the file with recl=512 (say), did the trick, but is not working for me with cvf 6.6a.

BTW, I am using

CHARACTER*512 BUF
READ(UNIT,'(A)' ) BUF

Thanks,

Gabriel

Should work without RECL. What does your OPEN statement look like and what sort of error/results are you seeing?

Never mind! the problem was in another program (not in the one I was looking at) and it was trivial.
