Obtaining a printed copy of error messages

Enabling the debug printout is another way of getting information, but many times there is so much data that the information you want can easily get lost.

FORTRAN allows you to redirect what would normally go to the screen to a file. For example:

Using C-Shell:

        file.f >& temp.out

Using Bourne or Korn Shell:

        file.f 2> temp.out

This is assuming you were using xxx as in the above example. This will run the program file.f and send the output to the file temp.out.
