HP Fortran statements
END
Chapter 10 341
END
Marks the end of a program unit or procedure.
Syntax
END [ keyword [ name ]]
keyword is one of the keywords BLOCK DATA, FUNCTION, MODULE, PROGRAM, or
SUBROUTINE. When the END statement is used for an internal procedure or
module procedure, the FUNCTION or SUBROUTINE keyword is required.
name is the name given to the program unit. If name is specified, keyword must
also be specified.
Description
The END statement is the last statement of a program unit (that is, a main program, function,
subroutine, module, or block data subprogram), an internal procedure, or a module procedure.
It is the only statement that is required within a program unit.
Examples
The following example illustrates the use of the END statement to indicate the end of a main
program. Notice that, even though the main program unit is given a name, the END PROGRAM
statement does not require it:
PROGRAM main_prog
...
END PROGRAM
In the next example, the END statement marks the end of an internal function and must
therefore specify the keyword FUNCTION. However, it is not required that the name, get_args,
be also specified:
FUNCTION get_args (arg1, arg2)
...
END FUNCTION get_args
The following example uses the END statement to indicate the end of a block data subprogram.
Because the END statement specifies the program unit name, it must also specify the keyword
BLOCK DATA:
BLOCK DATA main_data
...
END BLOCK DATA main_data
