Maybe not the worst idea. The question is, how would we do this technically? Can it be handled with the existing infrastructure (gfc_error_... )? Alternatives might be: * simply throw the warning without context * have 'check_dummy_characteristics' not return SUCCESS/FAILURE, but something like SUCCESS/WARNING/ERROR and then react on this appropriately by throwing either an error or a warning (more tedious) Cheers, Janus
