H O W ?

I am new in Fortran. So, please help me.

Well - I guess you could have a second program running which you sent the data to, and then when the first program starts up again it could request the data back again...

I wouldn't go there, especially since you are new to the language. Over-complicated and not portable. Just write a file and read it back in again.

One question - why is your program ending itself and then immediately starting again, while needing the data to be saved? It sounds more as if you want to go round a loop within a single run of the program.

Catherine.

Or it might be that the OP has used the term "program" where others might
have said "subroutine" so what it required is to read a bit further into
the "Intro to Programming" and find out about subroutines and functions.
The storing and loading again may be nothing more than just passing arguments.

It is the old question of whether the stated problem is the real problem
or just an attempt at describing the real problem that has resulted in a
failure to communicate.
