Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: VAX-11

FORTRAN IV-PLUS, Version 1

DESCRIPTION:
FORTRAN IV-PLUS is an extended FORTRAN implementation based on American National Standard
(ANSI) FORTRAN, X3.9-1966. It operates under the
V AX/VMS operating system to take advantage of the
floating point and character string instruction set and
the virtual memory system. VAX-11 FORTRAN IVPLUS includes the following extensions to the ANSI
standard:
• General expressions allowed in all meaningful contexts
• Mixed-mode arithmetic·
• CHARACTER data type, including character variables, arrays, and functions
• BYTE data type
• INTEGER*2 and LOGICAL *2 data types in addition
to INTEGER*4, LOGICAL *4, REAL *4, REAL *8, and
COMPLEX*8
• type*size notation as well as the standard notation
for data types (e.g., REAL *4, LOGICAL *1)
• IMPLICIT statement
• Block IF-THEN-ELSE statements
• Generalized DO loops
• Statement list optional in assigned GOTO
• ENTRY statement
• OPEN and CLOSE file access control statements
• END= and ERR= in Read and WRITE statements
• Direct access input/output: formatted and unformatted
• List directed input/output
• ENCODE, DECODE statements
• PRINT, TYPE, ACCEPT input/output statements
• DEFINE FILE statement
• Constants and expressions in WRITE, PRINT, and
TYPE statement.
• INCLUDE statement
• PARAMETER statement
• PROGRAM statement
• 15-character symbolic names including $ and • Comments allowed at end of each source line
• Lower, as !Well as upper, bounds specification in
array declarators
• Generic function selection based on argument data
type for FORTRAN defined functions
• Alternate RETURN specifiers in CALL statements

• Optimizations of arithmetic IF, logical IF, and block
IF-THEN-ELSE
• Common subexpression elimination
• Removal of invariant expressions from DO loops
• Allocation of general registers across DO loops
• Constant folding

ADDENDUM
SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or e in the applicable Software Product
Description (SPD) existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD.
DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWARE to the SPD) as described below. Any
SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category C will be furnished on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a deSignated Support Category A or e, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional
charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite
hardware and software, is ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location
within the contiguous forty-eight (48) United States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary
of DIGITAL has a software service faCility. The notification must be received by DIGITAL and the system must be ready for
installation within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the SOFTWARE to customer or DIGITAL will have no obligation to
install. Installation will consist of: (1) verification that all components of the SOFTWARE have been received by customer, (2)
loading the SOFTWARE, and (3) executing a DIGITAL sample procedure.
2. Durtng the ninety (90) day period after installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the current unaltered release
of the SOFTWARE which DIGITAL determines to be a defect in the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will provide the following remedial
service (on site where necessary): (1) if the SOFTWARE is inoperable, apply a temporary correction (TC) or make a
reasonable attempt to develop an emergency by-pass, and (2) assist the customer to prepare a Software Performance
Report (SPR) and submit it to DIGITAL.
3. During the one (1) year period following installation, if the customer encounters a problem with the SOFTWARE which his
diagnosis indicates is caused by a SOFTWARE defect, the customer may submit an SPR to DIGITAL. DIGITAL will respond
to problems reported in SPRs which are caused by defects in the current unaltered release of the SOFTWARE via the
