Intel® Fortran Compiler 17.0 Developer Guide and Reference
The character data type can be specified as follows:
CHARACTER
CHARACTER([LEN=] len)
CHARACTER(LEN= len, KIND= n)
CHARACTER(len, [KIND=] n)
CHARACTER(KIND= n [, LEN= len])
CHARACTER* len [,]
n |
Is an initialization expression that evaluates to kind 1. |
len |
Is a string length (not a kind). For more information, see Declaration Statements for Character Types. |
If no kind type parameter is specified, the kind of the constant is default character.
On Windows systems, several Multi-Byte Character Set (MBCS) functions are available to manipulate special non-English characters.
