% cd gcc/gccx/libgfortran % grep HAVE_GFC_REAL_17 ieee/* % troutmask:sgk[219] ls ieee % ieee_arithmetic.F90 ieee_features.F90 % ieee_exceptions.F90 ieee_helper.c There are zero hits for REAL(17) in the IEEE code. If REAL(17) is intended to be an IEEE-754 type, then it seems gfortran's support was never added for it. If anyone has access to a power system, it's easy to test program foo use ieee_arithmetic print *, ieee_support_datatype(1.e_17) end program foo -- Steve
