Fortran Programming Language :: Can "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003" hide the code of Fortran?


	Can "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003" hide the code of Fortran? In my program, there are some code I didn't want use kown, however, I must use sometime in the future. So I comment it like the following ! **************** ! *********** ! ********* ! *** ! * ... ... ... ... However, the code is very long and take a lot of space. So, what I really want to ask is that: Is there any way hide the code (like in C+ +)???? - Hide quoted text - li.sim@gmail.com wrote: > In my program, there are some code I didn't want use kown, however, I > must use sometime in the future.

Among them would be use of pre-processor conditional compilation directives, and placing the code in INCLUDE files. Most Fortran compilers support traditional-C like pre-processing. Coco pre-processing according to Fortran standard generally requires you to install the pre-processor yourself. The main reason for not using C++ pre-processor is to preserve the // operator for Fortran standard use.
