Abstract
AbstractThis paper is the result of a study of the portability problems which might arise in the use of the Fortran 77 language. The study involved both an examination of the text of the Standard and discussions with a number of compiler‐writing teams. The paper identifies areas of Fortran 77 which are likely to cause problems, either because of an incomplete language specification, difficulties in compilation, or user inattention. It will be of interest not only to users writing large packages in Fortran, and to Fortran compiler writers, but also to those involved in language standardization and portability in general.
