INCLUDE Line

Description

The INCLUDE line causes text in a separate file to be processed as if the text replaced the INCLUDE line. The INCLUDE line is not a Fortran statement.

Syntax
 

     INCLUDE filespec
 Where:
 	

         

             filespec is a CHARACTER literal constant that corresponds to a path and
             

                 file that contains source text to replace the INCLUDE line.
         

     
 

Remarks

The INCLUDE line must be the only non-blank text on this source line other than an optional trailing comment. A statement label or additional statements are not allowed on the line.

The include line is processed by the compiler, not by a preprocessor.

Example
       include "types.for"  ! include a file named types.for
                            ! in place of this INCLUDE line
