Ah, but then the question becomes:

Why is this not valid ?

      CHARACTER*10 a
      a = '15'
      READ(a, '(*)') i
      PRINT*,i
      END

33189.f:3.72:

      READ(a, '(*)') i                                                  
                                                                       1
Error: Unexpected element in format string at (1)

Cheers,
