Flush

[GerritGroot]

Hi,

In Microsoft's Developer Studio the following command exists:

USE PORTLIB
FLUSH(1)

Where 1 is the unit number of your file.

I'm wondering two things:

1. Is there a standard way in Fortran 77 to flush a file without the use of the PORTLIB library?
2. Is there an equivalent in G77?

Thanks,

Gerrit

There isn't a standard way of doing this in F77.

With g77, it depends on which version you're using. The earlier versions of g77 did an automatic flush. Actually it depends on whether you downloaded the code and built it yourself or took someone else's binary. This is configurable in the source code.

For later versions, the option was turned off because of inefficiency. To force a flush

call flush(unit)

So in G77 it's without any USE LIB function if I understand well.

Thank you!
