SHOW NAMES LONGER THAN ...

Syntax:

SHOW NAMES LONGER THAN <integer> CHARACTERS

Function:

FPT displays the names and attributes of all symbols which have names longer than the specified value.

Some systems, e.g. Encore (Gould-SEL) MPX Fortran, ignore the trailing characters of names beyond a certain length. Thus, for example, under MPX, HEADING_WRT_WIND and HEADING_WRT_DECK are actually the same variable, with the internal name HEADING_. The long names may be systematically renamed with the RENAME command.

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

Example:

The command

FPT> show names longer than 8 char

generates the listing:

Symbols with Names Longer than 8
