[HCorte]

One more question finished the command procedure, know whanted to pass a variable/symbol to a program in fortran.
Posted the question in "comp.lang.fortran" but forgoted to specify in the initial inquiry/question that was using OpenVMS.

One suggestion was to use "EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE" that from what could tell its specific to Unix, and also "popen" from what could get also Unix specific is there a equivalent for OpenVMS?
