I can recall at my first job (muble years ago) being considered a bit flash because I used Mixed case in my Hollerith statements for prompts ;-)

The Fixed code format went away a long time ago (it was to fit on a 80 col punched card) any one using F77 and later in the last 30+ years will have used free format

And the MAGIC is REAL unless declared INTEGER - professional Fortan programmers declare everything! (well apart form loop indexes I j etc)




I think you could also use 'implicit none', or something like that, to prevent the implicit typing.
