Re: Exit code with Fortran 90

If I use the istruction

I see that this happen compiling when I use the GNU Fortran compiler (gfortran).
Is this behaviour standard, or it is a special behaviour of gfortran?

The standard only says:

"...the stop code, if any, is available in a processor-dependent manner."

And I know at least one implementation (VMS DEC/HP Fortran) which
just displays the code (or string), and does not pass it to program exit
status.
