Fortran runtime error: End of file

In summary, the conversation was about a program to read data from a file and write it to a new file. The program encountered an error due to the last line of the file having only two values instead of six. The solution was to use the End=999 option on the READ statement. After implementing the solution, the program ran successfully.

Thanks for your help. I done success. :)
 

Related to Fortran runtime error: End of file

1. What is a "Fortran runtime error: End of file"?

A "Fortran runtime error: End of file" is an error message that indicates the program has tried to read beyond the end of a file, meaning there is no more data left to be read. This can occur when the program is expecting more data but reaches the end of the file before it is able to retrieve it.

2. What causes a "Fortran runtime error: End of file"?

There are a few potential causes for a "Fortran runtime error: End of file". One common cause is when the program tries to read data from a file that has already been fully read. Another cause could be a mismatch between the expected format of the data and the actual format in the file. Additionally, errors in the code such as a missing or misplaced loop can also lead to this error.

3. How can I fix a "Fortran runtime error: End of file"?

The best way to fix a "Fortran runtime error: End of file" is to carefully review your code and identify where the issue is occurring. You can then make any necessary adjustments, such as adding a loop to continue reading until the end of the file is reached, or ensuring the format of the data matches what is expected by the program. It may also be helpful to use debugging tools to track the flow of the program and identify the source of the error.

4. Can I prevent a "Fortran runtime error: End of file" from occurring?

While it is not always possible to prevent a "Fortran runtime error: End of file" from occurring, there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of encountering this error. This includes carefully designing and testing your code, ensuring the format of your data matches what is expected, and implementing error-handling procedures to catch and handle any potential issues.

5. Are there any resources available for troubleshooting "Fortran runtime error: End of file"?

Yes, there are a variety of resources available for troubleshooting "Fortran runtime error: End of file". These include online forums and communities where experienced Fortran programmers can offer advice and guidance, as well as documentation and tutorials provided by the Fortran language itself. Additionally, consulting with other scientists and researchers who have experience with Fortran may also be helpful in resolving this error.
