Can the file-unit-numbers in the ISO_FORTRAN_ENV module take any value, positive or negative? [178:30-32] says "a file-unit-number whose value is nonnegative or equal to one of the named constants INPUT_UNIT, OUTPUT_UNIT, or ERROR_UNIT of the ISO FORTRAN ENV module (13.8.2)". [360:15-17] says "The value of the default integer scalar constant INPUT_UNIT identifies ... [snip]. The value shall not be -1.", and similarly for the other two units. This rather bald description implies that negative values may be used but there is no definition of which values, if any. Further, it apparently arbitrarily prohibits the value -1 without giving a reason. Without knowing the intention I cannot offer an edit. 2. Suggested minor edits: 2.1 [3:12] and [437:34+4] "1539:1997" -> "1539-1:1997". 2.2 [432:27] ":D" -> ": D" 2.3 [436:16] "unsigned" -> "unsigned [type]" since the word is used not infrequently in Fortran in connection with constants. > Signed David Muxworthy
