STOP statement write to terminal window

[Glynn_H_]

The FORTRAN code I'm working on writes its main output to unit 6. It also uses a number of STOP statements when trapping for errors. 

When I previously used the Lahey compiler the strings associated with the STOP statements were written to the terminal window, not unit 6. However, since moving to Intel the STOP strings are written to unit 6 instead of the terminal window.

Any ideas of how I can revert to the STOP strings being written to the terminal window?

In Intel Fortran, STOP writes to the "standard error" stream. By default that's going to be the same console that is open on unit 6.

Are you explicitly opening unit 6? My experiment is that if you do that, the STOP output still goes to the console.

Yes, I'm explicitly opening unit 6.

Not seeing it.

open (unit=6,file='test.txt',form='formatted')
write (6,*) "This is unit 6"
stop "The World"
end
