Help, Can't find my bug
I am using AIX Fortran Version 6. I have a large application with many subroutines and functions. Somewhere I seem to have an argument mismatch. I have argument type mismatch and overlay bounds checking turned on so the problem isn't obvious. The error message I get indicates that I am probably overwriting prog... 31 Oct 2006 18:39

How to decide using COMMON block variables or function/subroutine parameters?
Shawn <shaw(a)nospam.com> wrote: When I read somebody's program, I saw the function/subroutine has several parameters, in the meantime, the function/subroutine also use common block variables. It seems to me, both ways serve the purpose: pass in the variable values and/or get new values. If you alway... 26 Oct 2006 17:21

programming -- keep things simple
I have been reading all the posts for some months and I am very surprised with all the problems planted and the contortions programmers are going through to write their programs. Rule 1. If you have a problem (not a simple question) that you have to expose here you are probably going about your problem-solving al... 26 Oct 2006 10:30

It would be simple enough to construct IF blocks to deal with this, but I thought that CASE constructions were supposed to ... 26 Oct 2006 08:55
