I need to equivalence a real array with a complex array, using only one array worth of memory. Although many people claim that equivalence and common are deprecated, they are not declared obsolete by the fortran standards, including fortran 2008. An equivalence statement stipulates that the storage sequence of the entities whose names appear in the list nlist must have the same first memory location an equivalence statement can cause association of entities other than specified in the nlist an array name, if present, refers to the first element of the array.

Lahey no longer offers the free version of essential lahey fortran 90. The equivalence statement is still part of modern fortran but when found in old code it often turns out to be used in ways which are nonstandard, for example to associate numerical variables with ones of character type, or to transfer bitpatterns from one data type to another.

Thus, many of the old fortran 77 features will not be discussed, and should not be used in the programs. An equivalence statement stipulates that the storage sequence of the entities whose names appear in the list nlist must have the same first memory location. If they are not, the fortran 90 equivalent of equivalence is the transfer intrinsic function.
The open statement connects a unit number with an external file and allows you to explicitly specify file attributes and runtime options using open statement specifiers.
