Data statement

[BGKirkham]

I’m using gfortran to compile some old legacy code. There is one statement that isn’t compiling where characters are being put into an integer variable. This was perfectly fine back in the day. The statement looks like this

DATA IBLK/‘ ‘/

I don’t want to mod the code if I don’t have to. Is there a compiler option that will allow this to compile?

This fixed it

DATA IBLK/3H /

Also compiled with -std=legacy.

Looks like the wrong sort of quotes. Should be ' (the one below @ on UK kbd, " on US kbd) not `
