Inquiry Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the kind parameter of the argument.
result = KIND (x)
x |
(Input) Can be of any intrinsic type. |
The result is a scalar of type default integer. The result has a value equal to the kind type parameter value of x.
KIND (0.0) has the kind value of default real type.
KIND (12) has the kind value of default integer type.
The following shows another example:
INTEGER i ! a 4-byte integer
WRITE(*,*) KIND(i)
CALL INTEGER2( )
WRITE(*,*) KIND(i) ! still a 4-byte integer
! not affected by setting in subroutine
END
SUBROUTINE INTEGER2( )
!DIR$INTEGER:2
INTEGER j ! a 2-byte integer
WRITE(*,*) KIND(j)
END SUBROUTINE
