Fortran LOGICAL
could you elaborate?
Toon,
There is no universally-agreed Fortran convention for how .TRUE. and
.FALSE. boolean values are represented and how a value is checked for
.TRUE. and .FALSE.
Some Fortran implementations use 0 for .FALSE. and 1 for .TRUE. (they
may test for .TRUE. as being NON-ZERO)
Some Fortran implementations use 0 for .FALSE. and -1 for .TRUE. (they
may test for .TRUE. as being NEGATIVE)
Some Fortran implementations use -1 for .FALSE. and +1 for .TRUE. (they
may test for POSITIVE .TRUE. and NEGATIVE .FALSE.)
Checkout the PGI and ABSOFT Fortran compilers for example.
Regards
Neil
