remark #7960: The floating overflow condition was detected while evaluating this operation; the result is an infinity.

I need to define a very large constant for the cases that I need infinity; but I noticed this warning:

remark #7960: The floating overflow condition was detected while evaluating this operation; the result is an infinity.

Now I wonder if there is a standard way to define +infinity or -infinity?

use, intrinsic :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC
...
x = IEEE_VALUE(x,IEEE_POSITIVE_INF)

You will want to compile with /fp:strict in order to support exceptional values.
