It also says that there are no value separators between character values, but doesn't specifically mention whether or not this applies when the two values are produced by two different output statements. Here are some of the relevant words: 7 Character sequences produced when the delimiter mode has a value of NONE .... 9 (2) Are not separated from each other by value separators, So is the following program supposed to put a space between the two Xs or not? program spaces write (unit=*, fmt="(a)", advance="no") "X" print *, "X" end program spaces -- Walt Brainerd +1-877-355-6640 (voice & fax) The Fortran Company +1-520-760-1397 (outside USA) 6025 N.
