Overview of FORTRAN standardization activities

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5810231

The committee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) responsible for FORTRAN standardization is the X3J3 technical committee. On April 3, 1978 a new Fortran standard was officially adopted. The X3J3 is already working on the next standard. They are considering a core plus modules approach to Fortran, where stand-alone modules may be interfaced with the core Fortran to provide certain facilities. The features under consideration for future Fortran include free-form source statements, data and control structures, and array processing.
