STRING DELIMITERS AS WRITTEN

Syntax:

STRING DELIMITERS AS WRITTEN CHANGE STRING DELIMITER [TO] { SINGLE QUOTE | DOUBLE QUOTE | UP ARROW }

Function:

FPT reads Fortran code in which the string delimiter may be a single quote, a double quote or an up arrow. The string delimiters in the output code may match those in the input, or may be changed systematically. The commands are:

STRING DELIMITERS AS WRITTEN

CHANGE STRING DELIMITER TO SINGLE QUOTE

CHANGE STRING DELIMITER TO DOUBLE QUOTE

CHANGE STRING DELIMITER TO UP ARROW

Note that single quotes are accepted by nearly all Fortran implementations. Double quotes are accepted by Fortran 90, by the Salford FTN77 compiler, and by some other systems, but are not accepted by VMS. VMS uses a double quote to introduce an octal number. Up arrow is used as a string delimiter by CDC compilers.

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
