Node: Statements, Next: Statement Labels, Previous: Continuation Line, Up: Characters Lines Sequence
(Corresponds to Section 3.3 of ANSI X3.9-1978 FORTRAN 77.)
Statements may be written using an arbitrary number of continuation lines.
Statements may be separated using the semicolon (;
), except
that the logical IF
and non-construct WHERE
statements
may not be separated from subsequent statements using only a semicolon
as statement separator.
The END PROGRAM
, END SUBROUTINE
, END FUNCTION
,
and END BLOCK DATA
statements are alternatives to the END
statement.
These alternatives may be written as normal statements--they are not
subject to the restrictions of the END
statement.
However, no statement other than END
may have an initial line
that appears to be an END
statement--even END PROGRAM
,
for example, must not be written as:
END &PROGRAM
