CHANGE DATA STATEMENTS WITH PARENTHESES

Syntax:

[DO NOT] CHANGE DATA STATEMENTS WITH PARENTHESES TO STANDARD [FORM]

Function:

Some systems, for example, VMS, CVF and ifort, accept DATA statements of the form:

DATA (c = 2.99792458D8, pi = 3.1415926536D0)

These are non-standard. The command CHANGE DATA STATEMENTS WITH PARENTHESES TO STANDARD FORM changes them to standard DATA statements. The above statement is changed, for example to:

!!! FPT DATA (c = 2.99792458D8, pi = 3.1415926536D0) DATA c /2.99792458D8/ DATA pi /3.1415926536D0/

Where to Use this Command

Operating system command line	Yes
Configuration file, config.fsp	Yes
Specification (fsp) files, *.fsp	Yes
Interactively, to FPT> prompt	Yes
Interactive command files	Yes
Embedded in the Fortran code	Yes

Default

No change is made by default.
