How to print Extended ASCII Characters
in [Fortran]

From: flowergirl on 31 Jan 2010 16:40 How do I print from the Extended ASCII Character Set (IBM Character Set) with Compaq Visual Fortran 6.5? For example, using the DOS editor or MS Word and entering Alt 219 (numeric key pad) displays the box type character â. I can put this into a Powerstation 1.0 write statement and it prints successfully. However CVF 6.5 displays the | character instead. The same goes for other extended ASCII characters.

How are you generating the characters?

Here's an example: If the following program is compiled and run with Compaq Visual Fortran 6.5 as a console application, the result is a box printed with ASCII text based characters (corners, horizontal lines, and vertical lines). write(*,*) char(218),char(196),char(191) write(*,*) char(179),' ' ,char(179) write(*,*) char(192),char(196),char(217) end But if the same program is compiled and run as a standard graphics or quick win application, a list of character codes gets printed instead.

This has little to do with Fortran and everything with the display method. The characters you want to print are outside the ordinary ASCII range and therefore the graphical representation is subject to such things as code pages. These graphic characters you are trying to use are not present in other code pages or are in a different position. (I have never quite understood the terminology but it has to do with OEM versus ASCII) Regards, Arjen

I have not found a way to do this. Console applications, and PowerStation 1.0 )(which was a DOS product), use the "OEM 437" codepage for output. This DOES have a corresponding font, "MS-DOS CP 437", but this is not a font you can select in a QuickWin application (which a later post of yours said you wanted to do.) -- Steve Lionel Developer Products Division Intel Corporation Nashua, NH For email address, replace "invalid" with "com" User communities for Intel Software Development Products http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/ Intel Software Development Products Support http://software.intel.com/sites/support/ My Fortran blog http://www.intel.com/software/drfortran |
