print *, "123
456"

results in

 123
456

but i want

123
456

how can easily get this, is there a compiler option?
of course i could use

print *, "123", "n456"

but i don't like this.

Isn't that an ugly feature?! -vms will get you what you want. In 8.0, this recognition will be off by default and there will be a new switch to turn it on if you want it.

thanks! (but:)

ugly?: yes. and funny:

program backslash
print *, ""
end program

compiling gives (an error message twice as long as the program):

   program BACKSLASH

print *, ""
          ^
Warning 18 at (2:backslash.f90) :  used as an escape character is an extension to standard Fortran 95
            ^
Error 5 at (2:backslash.f90) : incomplete string

1 Error
compilation aborted for backslash.f90 (code 1)

i didn't want to use it as an escape character! ;-)

!!! unfortunately this message remains when compiling with -vms !!! ???

correction (sorry, cut and paste problem):

[Steven_L_Intel1]

As Tim suggests, add -nbs. This too won't be needed in 8.0. (Grumble - I hate it when Fortran implementors think they're writing a C compiler instead...)

Steve

[sandwich]

yes, now it works.

thank you both.

yes, i also like C, but i would appreciate that people are able to distinguish.

greetings,

sandwich

[sandwich]

i have to correct:

as seen in the example below i could not use

print *, "123"

.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Why not? What happens? It seems to work for me with -vms and -nbs specified.

Steve

[sandwich]

no, i meant without these options (my first message).
