Hi,

Pardon my Fortran ignorance; but is it possible to write a function
that returns a String?

Essentially, I want the return value of the function to be a string;

eg:

Character(*) Function MyStringMaker(Something)

so that I can call it like:
print *, 'My function produced '//MyStringMaker(20)

I know how to get this value returned in argument list for the function
like:
Integer Function MyStringMaker(Something, MyOutPutInThis).
I use Intel Fortran 7.1 compiler.

Cheers
Babu
