Is there a maximum amount of data that can be read during a Fortran namelist read?

Is there a maximum amount of data that can be read in a namelist read using Intel Visual Fortran?

I'm interested to know total, but more specifically for an individual field.

I can't seem to find anything on it anywhere, but it seems to be crashing at around a 2,500 character array. I'm trying to put it into a 3,000 character array.

The data is on one line too if that could be an issue.

Solution

  • For Intel Fortran this is documented under the topic "Compiler Limits". The maximum size of a character value read in during list-directed and NAMELIST I/O is 2048. The variable itself may be longer.
