I have a program in which certain combinations of inputoccassionally cause a formattedoutput field (e.g., F8.2) to overflow due to the larger size of the number. Sometimes it prints asterisks across the field (which is what I want to happen whenan overflow occurs). Other times,the overflowhalts the program and gives a run-time error: "error (63): output conversion error". I'm not sure why asterisks are printed sometimes and a run-time error occurs other times. Is there a compiler or linker switch that will prevent this particular run-time error and always allow asterisks to be printed across the field when the overflow occurs?
