SUMMARY

An application developed in Microsoft FORTRAN can use the CHAR intrinsic function to create any character in the ASCII character set including the so-called "control" characters. The CHAR intrinsic function takes an INTEGER as an argument and returns a CHARACTER.

The following code example sends a nonprinting character, a carriage return, to the screen.

Sample Code

C Compile options needed: None

      WRITE (*, '(1X, A1)') CHAR(13)
      END
