How to accomplish Unicode file I/O operations in Fortran?

[richay]

Has anybody managed to get "File Open/Inquire" operations working in Fortran (Intel v.10.1) with a Unicode filename, such as Japanese? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

You need to use the NLS functions. Under Fortran help, type MBCS Conversion in the search line. It will come up with a whole bunch of routines. The ones you're interested in are the JIS ones.

Note that Japanese is not normally unicode: it is normally DBCS, which on an MS system can be mistaken for unicode since they are both 16 bits.
