FORTRAN-10

This document is the second edition of the FORTRAN-10 Language Manual, published in January 1974. It is designed as a reference for programmers familiar with standard ANSI FORTRAN (X3.9-1966) who are working in the DECsystem-10 programming environment.

Key contents include: * Language Syntax: Detailed descriptions of character sets, line types, data types, constants, variables, arrays, and arithmetic/logical expressions. * Statement Reference: Comprehensive categorization and documentation of FORTRAN-10 statements, including compilation control, specification, assignment, control, input/output (I/O), and subprogram statements. * I/O Facilities: Extensive coverage of FOROTS, the object time system, for data transfer operations, file control, and format handling. * Debugging: Guidance on using FORDDT for debugging programs. * Interfacing: Information on interfacing FORTRAN-10 with non-FORTRAN programs, including calling sequences and data file compatibility between FOROTS and earlier F40/FORSE systems.
