Dear members,

Is it possible to change a real number variable to a character variable such that the value of the number is the same but only the type is changed?

Regards

You cannot change the type of a variable. If you want to convert a real variable to a character variable you need to use for example a write statement like:
Code: 
   write(string,*) x
(supposed that string is long enough to contains the value of the variable).
you can also use a formatted write such as:
Code: 
   write(string,'(1PG13.6)') x
