Next: Statement Labels, Previous: Continuation Line, Up: Characters Lines Sequence
(Corresponds to Section 3.3 of ANSI X3.9-1978 FORTRAN 77.)
Statements may be written using an arbitrary number of continuation lines.
Statements may be separated using the semicolon (`;'), except
that the logical IF
and non-construct WHERE
statements
may not be separated from subsequent statements using only a semicolon
as statement separator.
The END PROGRAM
, END SUBROUTINE
, END FUNCTION
,
and END BLOCK DATA
statements are alternatives to the END
statement.
These alternatives may be written as normal statements—they are not
subject to the restrictions of the END
statement.
However, no statement other than END
may have an initial line
that appears to be an END
statement—even END PROGRAM
,
for example, must not be written as:
END &PROGRAM
