Hi, I want to understand a subroutine which is written in Fortran.
Program contains the following commands

*deck,
#include

What are these commands do? Where can I find information about them?

Thanks, I have found the answer!
*deck is only a comment! I have forgotten that in f77, * indicates comment line too!

"* indicates comment line too!"

not in any dialect of fortran that I have ever seen in the past 30+ years !

I mean , C or * at the first column indicates a comment line. I have still problem with #include command! what is this command?

Are you sure you're looking at a Fortran file?

this is the subroutine:

*deck,usermat  parallel           user                             gal
      subroutine usermat(
     &                   matId, elemId,kDomIntPt, kLayer, kSectPt,
     &                   ldstep,isubst,keycut,
     &                   nDirect,nShear,ncomp,nStatev,nProp,

Jiligeo,

An asterisk is not a valid character to start a comment line.

#include "impcom.inc" would mean that the contents of a file called "impcom.inc" are to be inserted into the source code at this position.

Thank you very much for your reply. Could you give me please a reference for more information?

Is it really that difficult to use a search engine?
