This sounds like there is still a lot of work to do in this character issue.
Has anyone ever managed to allocate such strings dynamically? In

the length is constant so you could use character(5)::string. That's not what I
mean, I would like to have something like this:
PROGRAM helloworld
character(:),allocatable::string
real::rnd
call random_number(rnd)
call hello(ceiling(11*rnd),string)
print *,string
contains
subroutine hello (n,string)
character(:),allocatable,intent(out)::string
integer,intent(in)::n
character(10)::helloworld="hello world"
string=helloworld(:n)
end subroutine hello
end PROGRAM helloworld
I guess that's not yet possible with gfortran.
