Intel Fortran Compilation Error

[Muyan__Can]

To whom it may concern,

As I am using the following intel directive in usermat.f90 file:

!DIR$ include impcomEjb.inc

I get the following error message in compile.log file:

usermat.f90

usermat.f90(148): remark #5082: Directive ignored - Syntax error, found CHARACTER_CONSTANT 'impcomEjb.inc' when expecting one of: :

!DIR$ include "impcomEjb.inc"

My files are attached to my message.

Could you please help to troubleshoot this error message?

Thank you for your time and kind concern.

Plain old:

include "impcom.inc" 

should work if this inc file is in the same folder as the source file. I thought it strange there was a directive !DIR$ include. I can't find that in the help system, but maybe I did not look hard enough..

Intel Fortran has never supported an INCLUDE compiler directive. As Andrew suggests there's no point to one since Fortran has the standard INCLUDE statement. (There's also #include as a preprocessor directive.)

Dear Steve Lionel and Andrew,

Thank you very much for your informative replies to my questions. I was able to run my code with the following command in my usermat.f90 file:

#include "imcompEjb.inc"

However I would like to do the following:

Since I am writing my FORTRAN Code in FREE format (*.f90), I use the compiler  switch /free, which then thinks my code is in FREE format.  Then, I want to switch back to FIXED (F77) format. In order to switch to FIXED I use the following compiler directive:

!DIR$ FIXED

But I get the following error message:

I have attached the files to my E-Mail. Could you please help me to troubleshoot this problem?

Thank you for your time and kind concern.

The directives are

!DIR$ FREEFORM
!DIR$ NOFREEFORM

Jim Dempsey

[JVanB]

Actually the right syntax (IMHO) is for the INCLUDE file to start with

!DIR$ PUSHFORM

!DIR$ NOFREEFORM

and end with

!DIR$ POPFORM

But these directives aren't as yet supported by ifort.

Google is your friend.  A search for "Fortran directives" found:

Dear Jim Dempsey, Repeat Offender and gib,

Thank you very much for your valuable comments. I was able to correct the mistake in my compile directive by using the following command:

!DIR$ NOFREEFORM

I appreciate your support!

Muyan,

There is a difference between the Fortran PreProcessor (FPP) #include
And the Fortran include (no #)

The FPP #include inserts the text in context of the entire compilation unit, whereas the Fortran include text is scoped to the entity in which it is placed (subroutine, function, module, COMMON, ...). The two are not entirely equivalent. When the FPP is not required, use the Fortran INCLUDE.
