What do *s in WRITE outputs imply?

[Stuart_M_]

Hi folks

I'm getting a bunch of results written to an output file that are simply ********

I am writing with the format F8.4, and know that there are bugs because in other parts of the output I'm getting NaN and INFINITY results. The latter two I can address because I know what they imply, but I can't seem to find anything on what asterisks in an output imply.

Thanks

Results have overflowed the format, most likely by exceeding the range plus sign width you specified.

Much 'bliged :-)
