The irony in that question is that the obscurity of the example is a direct result of the unexpected behavior of write of a NAMELIST into an internal file. The original question I was asked was reduced to a much simpler test case, and the question "why does the following program start to fail when the variable E is added to the NAMELIST group?". PROGRAM NMIF INTEGER :: A=1,B=2,C=3,D=4,E=5 !NAMELIST /NL1/ A,B,C,D ! works in gfortran NAMELIST /NL1/ A,B,C,D,E ! End of record error in gfortran CHARACTER(LEN=80) :: OUT(10) OUT=' ' WRITE(OUT,NL1) WRITE(*,'(A)')OUT END PROGRAM NMIF The code then mutated during an e-mail-only conversion, where it ended up that filling OUT with an @ character and numbering the lines made it much clearer what was truly an output record and what was not; and just how several people had become convinced that the output from the NAMELIST output was in the form of "one variable per line". So what was required to clarify an issue for a number of people ended up confusing you. Also note that every compiler tried (XL, ifort, g95, gfortran) had different results, which was only clear when OUT was filled with a non-white-space character and annotated. Looking back on it I see that what we thought was a trivial example program could confuse someone not privy to the discussions that lead from the above example code to what was entered in bugzilla. So obscurity lead to obscurity. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzi...@gcc.gnu.org> To: <urbanj...@comcast.net> Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 5:53 PM Subject: [Bug fortran/45710] WRITE of NAMELIST group to internal file contains newline characters > > > ------- Comment #1 from kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-09-17 > 21:53 ------- > Could you format your bug report any more poorly? > > > -- > > > http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45710 > > ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- > You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45710
