Using the Fortran 2003 command argument procedures

[larsm]

I am developing and maintaining programs in the OpenVMS and Windows environments. To be portable I have used the Fortran 2003 syntax for quite some by employing the F2KCLI module as provided by Winteracter in both systems. I have recently started porting to Intel V8.1 from CVF.

The F2KCLI module worked fine in IVF too. To test the availability of the command argument procedures in IVF I removed the USE F2KCLI statement and to my amazement the COMMAND_ARGUMENT_COUNT function worked but the GET_COMMAND and GET_COMMAND_ARGUMENT subroutines were missing.

Why one and not the others?

Forget what I wrote!

The command argument procedures are obviously not implemented.

I probably only removed the USE statement but did not remove the F2KCLI LIB-file although I don't realize why IMPLICIT NONE did not catch the error.

My question now is:

Whenwill the Fortan 2003 standard command argument procedures be implemented?

Best wishes

We plan to offer these in our next major release.
