------- Additional Comments From paulthomas2 at wanadoo dot fr 2005-01-25 10:37 ------- I do not believe this to be a bug:
An end-of-file condition occurs when no more records exist in a file during a sequential read, or when an end-of-file record produced by the ENDFILE statement is encountered. End-of-file conditions do not occur in direct-access READ statements. For A editting If w is equal to or greater than the length (len) of the input item, the rightmost characters are assigned to that item. The leftmost excess characters are ignored. Adding a second read to the test program, generates the EOF condition a nd it is correctly trapped. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19478
