Compiler comparison (using 'FORMAT(">",G5.1,"<")'):
gfortran (4.1, 4.3, 4.6), g95, NAG f95, g77 and pgf95 print:
>* <
ifort, pathf95, openf95, sunf95 and crayftn print:
>*****<
Fortran 2008: "10.7.2 Numeric editing", "10.7.2.1 General rules" item (5):
"(5) On output, if an exponent exceeds its specified or implied width using the
E, EN, ES, D, or G edit descriptor, or the number of characters produced
exceeds the field width, the processor shall fill the entire field of width w
with asterisks. However, the processor shall not produce asterisks if the field
width is not exceeded when optional characters are omitted."
R1007 data-edit-desc is ...
or G w [ . d [ E e ] ]
or ...
Thus I agree that for "G5.1" one should have five and not only one asterisk.
