- Looking for fortran routines to emulate COBOL-like output PICTURE
- editing. That is, given a string with +'s, -'s, *'s and similar
- fixed or floating filler characters and actual (.) or implied (V)
- decimal point, will take an integer or real operand an produce an
- output character string with the number formatted according to the
- 'picture' of it. Must be generic enough fortran to be ported to
- various compilers and o/s's, not just a proprietary routine that
- happens to be implemented on a particular system. Calls to other-
- language implementations are similarly unacceptable unless source
- is available for THEM.
-
- Thanks for any help.
