Fortran missing values

[Azorio]

I am trying to figure out how to represent missing values in an array with a value I know won't be in there for example -99.9.

A sample of my code, is below. The array "pro" has been read in from a data file of numeric values. The code below print "0.00" where there isn't data to be read. I need the do loop range to stay fixed because other parts of the array that I will be working with fill the range, but this specific part does not. I have tried setting the array equal to -99.9 before the loop but all that prints is "*****".

DO i=1,31
PRINT *, pro(1,3,i)
END DO

Must be something strange going on if it prints ***. This normally means you are doing a formatted print and the value does not fit in the format. print * will always print the value of the number.

The ***** appears when I put in a specified format. I took out the specified format statement and the code prints -99.9 through out the entire loop.MY guess is that is overwritting the data in the array and replacing it with -99.9 rather than replacing the values that are not present in the array with -99.9 which is what I am trying to get.

I figured it out nvm.
