[comp.lang.fortran] abort a fortran program

lamson@sierra.steinmetz.ge.com (scott h lamson) (09/12/89)

Given the rules X3J3 must follow in what the Fortran standard may
specify and what it cannot, is it possible to require an intrinisic
subroutine which will terminate execution of a fortran program and
signal the OS that this program terminated with an error condition?
This would enable OS scripts to initiate error processing or to not
start up further programs dependent on this one for information.  This
seems like a universally supportable capability, and appropriate for
standardization.
