issue system call from running fortran program
 

Is it possible to make system call from a fortran program with Absoft 10.1 f90? When I try to compile a simple program like this :

Program test_system
implicit none
call system('mkdir junk')
end program test_system

I get the following:

/usr/local/apps64/absoft10.1/bin/f90 test.f90
/tmp/gYUaR4/test.o: In function `MAIN__':
/nfs/stak/u7/m/msander/test.f90:3: undefined reference to `system_'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
link failed.

Is this possible or does this flavor of fortran not support the call system?

Thanks,

I think you'd have to look at the Absoft documentation... Different FORTRANs have different ways to make system-calls, although all of them do. It's possible that you have to link-in some certain external library to get access to system call functionality. It's difficult to predict what path the implementors may have chosen.
