Keeping console window after runtime error?

In a Fortran console project, is there anyway to avoid the automatic closing of the console window after a runtime error without adding error handling of every single error that might occur?

As an example, if a file is missing (and if I forgot to check that the file existed before trying to open it with status='old') an error message is printed in the console window, but within a fraction of a second the entire window dissappears. When this happens to me, I can of course go into debug mode within Visual Studio and find out what happened, but if it happens to someone I distributed the executable to there seems to be no way to figure out what went wrong.

As a comparison, using the Absoft compiler (at least in the MacOS versions) you use the command setprefs to set the behaviour (either remaining window after program finishes or closing window)

Just have them run a batch file rather than the executable itself. In the batch file run the executable, followed by pause as necessary.
