Getting back to this. We have a problem of choices here. In format statements
such as:
WRITE (*,'(1PD24.15E4)') 1.0d0
Currently gfortran allows an extension of an optional comma separating format
specifiers. This results in the format string above being seen as:
'(1PD24.15,E4)'
The error message given in the original post is from the missing period after
the E4.
We could choose to allow the optional comma only with -std=legacy and then
these misleading situations would not occur. I am leaning in favour of this
more restrictive approach. Any opinions?
