It's been a while since I did much fortran, but I don't believe that the EOF function is part of the standard for fortran 77, and I always used the end=label idiom
10 read (blah,end=20)
process stuff
goto 10
20 close (blah)
(but possibly using do instead of goto...)
Here is page which discusses several options including the above and one based on iostat

Can a subroutine be contained in a subroutine (not in a program) in Fortran?

I have to deal with an old piece of software written in Fortran (mainly written in the 70's and badly maintained up to 3 years ago).
I am trying to get it compiled with VS2017 and the Intel oneAPI compiler (Fortran Compiler Classic 2021.3.0) for 64-bits architectures.
In the process of updating one of its modules, I convinced myself that the compiler does not support what I have learned to be called "host association" between subroutines (via CONTAINS statement). None of the symbols defined in a containing subroutine seems to be visible in the contained subroutine (if I use IMPLICIT NONE in the contained subroutine the compiler tells me that I need to declare all of them while if I don't, the compilers gets the declarations very wrong and not matching with the declarations in the containing subroutine. Lots of misleading error messages are printed).
Can somebody of you confirm that this is the case or provide the compiler options to enable this feature that clearly was allowed in the past by some compilers? If needed I will post the source code (I am not posting it immediately because I think this could be a very naive question for a Fortran expert, I am instead a total novice).
Sincerely,

Internal procedures (following a CONTAINS) can see all entities declared in the "host scope" (before the CONTAINS), and can see other internal procedures, but cannot see entities declared within other internal procedures. Host association goes up the tree only. For example:
subroutine outer
integer :: X
...
contains
subroutine innerA
real :: A
end subroutine innerA
subroutine innerB
real :: B
end subroutine innerB
end subroutine outer
Subroutine outer can see explicit interfaces for innerA and innerB. innerA and innerB can see explicit interfaces for each other and variable X, but innerA cannot see innerB's variable B and innerB cannot see innerA's variable A.
I am skeptical that the behavior you describe was supported by other compilers. Given that you say it was written in the 70s, it could not have used modules, which started with Fortran 90. My guess is that your "updating one of the modules" introduced errors.
For the benefit of who will ever setup a VS2017 + oneAPI project to build the TRNSYS kernel, I post here the solution of the problem, which was not related to Fortran language incompatibilities between different versions. Instead, it was due to an undefined macro (TRNSYS_MULTI_DLL) and a sloppy usage of that macro in the above code.
As you can see from the comments in the source code above, the intention of the author was to provide an empty function when that macro is not defined. However, as the included function is placed after the end of the conditional compilation macro !dec$ endif, this results in the included function to exist even if the including function is empty. Therefore the compiler complains about symbols which really do not exist any more.
Better would be, in my opinion, to move the contained function within the conditional compilation macro, like below.

Code with syntax error in do loop compiles and gives wrong result

Here is the source (lets call it test4.F):
do 10 i=1
write(*,*) i
10 continue
end
With gfortran:
$gfortran test4.F
$./a.out
-259911288
with ifort:
$ifort test4.F
$./a.out
0
I know the syntax is incorrect. So both should throw compile-time errors.
Your test program is indeed not valid Fortran, but there isn't a syntax problem.
When the file has a .F suffix both gfortran and ifort assume that the program uses fixed form source. In fixed form source, blanks in statements aren't significant (outside character contexts). Your program is equivalent to:
do10i=1
write(*,*) i
10 continue
end
With comments:
do10i=1 ! Set the real variable do10i to value 1
write(*,*) i ! Write the undefined integer variable i
10 continue ! Do nothing
end ! End execution
Because of implicit typing you have a defaul real variable do10i and so there isn't a syntax error for a do control, and there isn't a do control that sets i to 1.
Instead your program is invalid because you are referencing the value of i although it hasn't first been defined (because it isn't a loop variable). But this isn't an error the compiler has to complain about at compile time (or even run time). A compiler is allowed to print any value it likes. gfortran chose one, ifort another.
Liberal use of implicit none and avoiding fixed-form source are good ways to avoid many programming errors. In this case, use of an end do instead of continue would also alert the compiler to the fact that you intended there to be some looping.
Which version of gfortran are you using? With gfortran-6, the following
PROGRAM MAIN
USE ISO_FORTRAN_ENV, ONLY:
1 COMPILER_VERSION,
2 COMPILER_OPTIONS
C EXPLICIT TYPING ONLY
IMPLICIT NONE
C VARIABLE DECLARATIONS
INTEGER I
DO 10 I = 1
WRITE (*,*) I
10 CONTINUE
PRINT '(/4A/)',
1 'THIS FILE WAS COMPILED USING ', COMPILER_VERSION(),
2 ' USING THE OPTIONS ', COMPILER_OPTIONS()
END PROGRAM MAIN
indeed throws the error
main.F:13:13:
DO 10 I = 1
1
Error: Symbol ‘do10i’ at (1) has no IMPLICIT type
I suspect that test4.F does not include the implicit none statement. Consequently, DO 10 I = 1 is interpreted as an implicitly defined real variable DO10I = 1. Here is a sample of a fixed form statement showing what are now (post Fortran 90) considered significant blanks followed by an equivalent statement without the blanks
DO I=1 , M AX ITER S
DO I = 1 , MAXITERS
Upshot, always use explicit variable declarations in all your programs. Better yet, only write Fortran in free source form main.f90. Free source form is more compatible with modern interactive input devices than fixed form. The maximum line length is 132 characters, compared to the older limit of 72 characters. This reduces the possibility of text exceeding the limit, which could lead the compiler to misinterpret names. Here's the same code in free source form
program main
use ISO_Fortran_env, only: &
stdout => OUTPUT_UNIT, &
compiler_version, &
compiler_options
! Explicit typing only
implicit none
! Variable declarations
integer :: i
do i = 1, 3
write (stdout, *) i
end do
print '(/4a/)', &
' This file was compiled using ', compiler_version(), &
' using the options ', compiler_options()
end program main
and
gfortran-6 -std=f2008ts -o main.exe main.f90
./main.exe
yields
1

3

Implicit conversion integer <--> logical in Fortran if statement

I have some legacy Fortran code which I was asked to analyze and translate to a modern language. I don't know which compiler was used in the past to compile the code, so for now, I'm trying to compile it with gfortran. The code contains a statement like this was causes gfortran to complain:
program test
implicit none
integer*4 :: var
var=.true.
if(var) then
write(*,*) "Hi"
endif
end program test
Compiling this with gfortran gives the following error:
test.f:6:9:
if(var) then
1
Error: IF clause at (1) requires a scalar LOGICAL expression
(In addition, it gives a warning about the conversion done in var=.true.).
I'm not sure which which compiler the code was compiled, but apparently the code should compile as it is. Is there a way to tell gfortran to accept this conversion?
According to the docs, no implicit conversion is done within if-statements though: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/Implicitly-convert-LOGICAL-and-INTEGER-values.html
This is not possible in GFortran. The manual states:
However, there is no implicit conversion of INTEGER values in
if-statements, nor of LOGICAL or INTEGER values in I/O operations.
You are only able to perform implicit conversions in assignments like your
integer :: var
var = .true.
but even there you must be very careful. It is not standard conforming and the value var will differ between compilers. Intel used to use -1 (all bits set to 1), unless -standard-semantics was chosen, for .true., but gfortran uses +1 as in the C language. New versions of Intel Fortran changes the default. The other direction is even trickier, there might be values which are neither .true. nor .false..

Error in implicit declaration in Fortran

I have checked all the formats of the implicit type declaration but have not been able to find out the error in the following line . I have been running the code using f77 to compile this.
implicit real*4 (a-h,o-z)
while running the program it gives the following error for the above statement.
implicit real*4 (a-h,o-z)
1
Error: Unexpected character in variable list at (1)
A few basic rules if you are using F77 or earlier versions.
Put the implicit line first
Columns 1-5 are for labels
Column 6 is for continuation
Start the code in column 7
The code should not go past column 72. Some compilers have an option to extend the line length to 80 or 120 or 132 (widths of line printers when F77 first came out)
If you wish to use free format, use one of the later versions of fortran

Initialization in Fortran Using Modules

I use the Intel Visual Fortran. The problem I'm dealing with has many PARAMETERS and I want to avoid repetitious declaration and initiation of them at the beginning of each routine.
Is there any way for initialization these PARAMETERS using MODULES?
Of course the answer is YES, but some of intrinsic function are not accepted in the initiation statement. Here is a simple sample code,
MODULE mod
IMPLICIT NONE
REAL, PARAMETER :: x = SQRT ( 4 )
END MODULE
PROGRAM prog
USE mod
IMPLICIT NONE
PRINT *, x
END PROGRAM
Once compiled, the compiler shows me this error :
Error #6362: The data types of the argument(s) are invalid.
[SQRT] Source1.f90
Albeit using ABS ( ) is not followed by this error, but SIN ( ) does.
The problem is that the sqrt (and sin) intrinsic requires a floating point argument. There just happens to be both floating point and integer implementations of abs.
Replace 4 with 4. and it should work.
