VMS Help FORTRAN, Data, Types  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  The Fortran data types are as follows:

     o Integer - A whole number

     o REAL (REAL*4) - A single-precision floating-point number
                       (a whole number or a decimal fraction or
                       a combination)

     o DOUBLE PRECISION (REAL*8) - A double-precision floating-point
                       number (like REAL*4, but with twice the
                       degree of accuracy in its representation)

     o REAL*16 - A quad-precision floating-point number (like REAL*4,
                 but with four times the degree of accuracy in its
                 representation.)

     o COMPLEX (COMPLEX*8)  -  A pair of REAL*4 values representing
                 a complex number (the first part of the number is
                 the real part, the second is the imaginary part)

     o COMPLEX*16 (DOUBLE COMPLEX)  -  Similar to complex, but with
                 twice the degree of accuracy in its representation
                 (its real or imaginary part must be a REAL*8)

     o Logical - A logical value, .TRUE. or .FALSE.

     o Character - A sequence of characters
