reading file on intel fortran

[TheKKK]

I have a file that looks like that:

Data from X04 2000
Time: GMT + 0

Date Hour Value
01.01.2003 00:00 60.0
01.01.2003 01:00 63.0

in gfortran on cygwin i use to read the header like that:
CHARACTER(LEN=18)
READ(17,'(A)') header
with no problem

On INTEL Fortran I get an error:

severe (257) formatted I/O to unit open for unformatted transfers ...

or if i read it like that:
READ(17,*) header

severe (24) end-of-file during read ...


What can i try to read this???

Thanx

I don't know Intel Compiler, but try to define the format separately with label
e.g.
100 FORMAT(A)
and then try
READ(17, 100) header

I didnt work..

Anyway i dont think there is a difference in this.

Ok, I think too, that Intel Fortran Compiler supports the format you use in READ(17,'(A)').
There must be other error in your program. But I doubt that without posting here the adequate source somebody could help you.

Hi TheKKK

Try to define "header" longer, for instance 32 instead of 18:

character*32 header
open(17,file='???',status='unknown')
read(17,'(a)') header
read(17,'(1x)')
read(17,'(1x)')
read(17,'(1x)')

... and then read the data. You clearly have 4 lines of text (or empty lines) before the data begins.
