Hollerith Constants as Subprogram Arguments

You can use a Hollerith constant as an actual argument in a subprogram reference.

The corresponding dummy argument must be of type integer, real, or logical:

SUBROUTINE example(cost,date)

INTEGER*8 date

END

PROGRAM Main

CALL example(price,8H4-21-85 )

END

Hollerith Punch Card Codes

Table H-2 lists the Hollerith characters, their representations on a punch card (shown

as rows punched in a given column), and their ASCII internal (octal) equivalents.
