system questions

[Katto]

1. I am calling an executable from Fortran using the call system(filename.exe) routine.
Is there another function that can wait for the filename.exe to finish before gets to the execution of the next line ?

2. If not, is there a function like "call wait(###)" where ### are time units? at least I could estimate the cpu time required for filename.exe to finish and then resume

Thanks

The system is not a standard Fortran routine. See your compiler linrary docs. As usually, system() call is synchronous, system() returns only after cmd exit.
