This Month's GOTCHA

LEN Now An Intrinsic Function on Crays

Many Cray Fortran user codes are declaring LEN to be external, but since it is an intrinsic, the loader cannnot find a LEN() in the libraries.

This happened as a result of the last compiler/loader upgrade on the Crays.

The fix, of course, is to remove the statement:

from the code. This allows the compiler to use the intrinsic function.
