--- Comment #25 from john.harper at vuw dot ac.nz --- With that program Intel's two compilers (ifort and ifx) both print >.30D+01< >.30E+01< If your program removes the d0.2 stuff and changes e0.2 to es0.2e0, i.e. character(20) :: fmt character(9) :: buffer fmt = "(1a1,es0.2e0,1a1)" write(buffer,fmt) ">", 3.0, "<" print *, buffer end then both Intel compilers print what you seem to have hoped for: >3.00E+0< but my gfortran, gcc version 13.1.0 (Ubuntu 13.1.0-8ubuntu1~22.04), prints >3.00< I won't argue about the difference between gfortran's >0.30D+1< and Intel's >.30D+01< because I have been caught before by whether the zero before the decimal point and the zero after the D are optional. The f2018 standard is not easy to read on this. I tried aocc-flang on your original program, and I ought to send them a bug report because it printed >< >< I don't have access to the NAG compiler or anyone else's flang.
