The FORTRAN 77 Compiler The FORTRAN 77 compiler constructs object language programs from source language files written according to the rules of the FORTRAN language described in this manual. The FORTRAN 77 compiler is executable under various operating systems. The code generated by the compiler, standard binary output files, can be loaded and executed under the specific operating system. Exact details for specifying these files are found in the reference manuals for the operating system being used and in Chapter 10 of this manual. FORTRAN 77 is a multipass compiler. A pass is a processing cycle of the source program. When the compiler is invoked, it produces a relocatable binary object program according to the options specified in its run string. Source and object listings can be produced if specified in the compiler. Refer to Chapter 5 for more details on the FORTRAN 77 compiler run string.
