[momphy]

hi guy

do you know how to call main program in fortran ? i mean , in main program , i call anther main program, not the function or subroutine .

by the way , how to call interactive program .

Nope, there can only be one main program. If you need to call another "main" program, you first need to turn it into a subroutine or function.

Fortran is not an interpreted language like tcl, python, or others; it is compiled like C, for example. So, there is no such thing as interactive shell for Fortran.

The optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds - the pessimist fears this might be true.

I think he means call system (...). It is how you can get one program to call another one. Try

call system ('programname')
