Specific guidelines for FORTRAN include the following:

  • Format specifiers N and M output in an American numerical format (with commas between thousands and a decimal point) or an American monetary format (like N, with a $ added). Additional post-processing is required.

  • Outputting logicals results in a T (for true) or an F (for false). Similarly, T and F are expected for logical input. A non-English speaking user may want to use another character.

  • The intrinsic functions RNUM, DNUM, and STR all assume an American format in the input and produce an American-formatted output.

  • The EXTIN' and INEXT' entry points of the compiler library assume American formats. Do not use them.
