Re: character string assumed length

If I call a subroutine with a given character string and I try to put
a larger character string in the string than the field size, what
happens ? For example:

sub 1:

character*8 abc
call def (abc)

sub 2:

subroutine def (abc)
character*(*) abc
C this string is more than 8 characters
abc = '01234567890123456789'

What (will) happen is the onslaught of the evangelists crawling all over
you for politically incorrect syntax and sprinkles of endless/useless
babble. As for your question, try it before you buy it - it does what
you expected it to do, 'abc' comes out looking as '01234567'.
