Example
This example returns the character of the ASCII value 65.
USE ACHAR_INT
USE UMACH_INT
! IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER I, NOUT
!
CALL UMACH (2, NOUT)
! Get character for ASCII value
! of 65 ('A')
I = 65
WRITE (NOUT,99999) I, ACHAR(I)
!
99999 FORMAT (' For the ASCII value of ', I2, ', the character is : ', &
A1)
END
Output
For the ASCII value of 65, the character is : A
