Another round of FORTRAN

J. M. Chambers *

Bell Telephone Laboratories Incorporated, Murray Hill, New Jersey, USA

A small set of straightforward changes to FORTRAN are proposed. These are intended to make the language more useful for its most important applications in the near future, while retaining the advantages of the current FORTRAN.

The chief new features are: expressions of types CHARACTER and LABEL; ENCODE and DECODE; extended arithmetic expressions, DO loop parameters, and subscripts; addressable input/output; array expressions and assignments. Versions of various subsets of these are included in a number of existing or proposed compilers; the time seems opportune to seek some agreement on them.

Received February 1970.
