How to Write a 2D Array to a .dat File in Fortran90?

In summary, the conversation discusses the source code that generates a 2D array of 2 columns and 3001 rows using Fortran90. The individual is trying to create a subroutine to output the values in the array into a .dat file, but is encountering errors. They also ask for help in writing a function to output various arrays into .dat files and adding a comma between the two columns of the array for formatting purposes.

Hello everybody,

I have a source code which gives me as a result an array of 2 columns and 3001 rows (2d array). By using fortran90.

I was trying to have the values inside these cells into .dat file and tried to generate a subroutine and call my main array inside this. But somehow I get errors. Linking the code below any help is appreciated.

Fortran:
program hw1

REAL G, Ks, DVIS, EPS,LENGTH,D,Vs,Re,Vi,V0,FFACT,DELt,I,Vi1,J
INTEGER H, T, PHO
real, dimension(3001,2):: VTARR
G=9.81
D=0.3
H=8
ks=0.0001
T=60
DVIS=0.001
PHO=1000
EPS=0.01
DELt=0.02
WRITE (*,*) 'INPUT CYLINDER DIAMETER D:'
READ (*,*) D
WRITE (*,*)'INPUT PIPE LENGTH L'
READ (*,*) LENGTH

    IF (LENGTH==50) THEN
        Vs=6.586        !10.2655
    ELSE IF (LENGTH==100) THEN
        Vs=5.00
    ELSE IF (LENGTH==200) THEN
        Vs=3.669
    ELSE IF (LENGTH==500) THEN
        Vs=2.36
    end if

    Re=PHO*Vs*D/DVIS
    FFACT=0.25/((log10((ks/(3.7*D))+(5.74/Re**0.9)))**2)
    J=1
    do I=0.02,60,0.02
        IF (I==0.02) THEN
        V0=0
        Vi=DELt*H*G/LENGTH
        VTARR(J,1)=Vi
        VTARR(J,2)=I
        J=J+1
        WRITE (*,*) Vi
        ELSE IF (I/=0.02) THEN
        !Re=PHO*Vi*D/DVIS
        !FFACT=0.25/(log((ks/(3.7*D))+(5.74/Re**0.9)))**2
        Vi1=Vi+(DELt*(H-((1+(FFACT*LENGTH/D))*((Vi**2)/(2*G))))*G/LENGTH)
        Vi=Vi1
        VTARR(J,1)=Vi
        VTARR(J,2)=I
        J=J+1
        END IF
        WRITE (*,*) Vi
    end do
    CALL outputdata(VTARR)
PAUSE
    END PROGRAM

SUBROUTINE outputdata(X)
  implicit none

REAL,DOUBLE PRECISION, INTENT(IN) :: X(:,:)

   integer :: i
  
   ! output data into a file
   open(1, file='data1.dat', status='new')
   do i=1,ubound(X,1)
      write(1,*) x(1,i), X(2,i)
   end do
   close(1)

   ! opening the file for reading
   open (2, file='data1.dat', status='old')

end

We are not psychics. If you do not tell us what the errors are, we can't help you.

Oh yes Ofcourse. I get this error now:

C:\Users\hasan.dalgic\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Console2\Console2\hw1.f90(52): error #7978: Required interface for passing assumed shape array is missing from original source. [VTARR]
 
  • #4
You can't pass array X to the subroutine without either passing its size or making an interface for the subroutine:

Fortran:
program hw1

  interface
     subroutine outputdata(x)
        real (kind(1.d0)), intent(in) :: x(:,:)
     end subroutine outputdata
  end interface

Note that you cannot use DOUBLE PRECISION as you did. Also, J should be an integer, as wll as I (you should not have a do loop with a non-integer variable).

Now I modified my code as it is below. But still I get the error:

- A specification statement cannot appear in the executable section.

Fortran:
program hw1

READ (*,*) D
WRITE (*,*)'INPUT PIPE LENGTH L'
READ (*,*) LENGTH
   
    IF (LENGTH==50) THEN
        Vs=6.586        !10.2655

        Vs=5.00

        IF (I==0.02) THEN
        V0=0
        Vi=DELt*H*G/LENGTH
        VTARR(J,1)=Vi
        VTARR(J,2)=I
        J=J+1
        WRITE (*,*) Vi
        ELSE IF (I/=0.02) THEN
        !Re=PHO*Vi*D/DVIS
        !FFACT=0.25/(log((ks/(3.7*D))+(5.74/Re**0.9)))**2   
        Vi1=Vi+(DELt*(H-((1+(FFACT*LENGTH/D))*((Vi**2)/(2*G))))*G/LENGTH)
        Vi=Vi1
        VTARR(J,1)=Vi
        VTARR(J,2)=I
        J=J+1
        END IF
        WRITE (*,*) Vi
    end do
   
PAUSE
INTERFACE
    SUBROUTINE outputdata(VTARR)
        real (kind(1.d0)), intent(in) :: VTARR(3000,2)
    END SUBROUTINE outputdata
    END INTERFACE
    END PROGRAM
   
 
SUBROUTINE outputdata(X)   
  implicit none  

REAL, INTENT(IN) :: X(:,:)
  INTEGER I   
   ! output data into a file
   open(1, file='data1.dat', status='new') 
   do I=1,ubound(X,1)
      write(1,*) x(1,I), X(2,I)  
   end do 
   close(1)
   ! opening the file for reading
   open (2, file='data1.dat', status='old')
  
end SUBROUTINE

The interface has to appear right after the program statement, like in the example I posted.

But I find my value to be used inside subroutine at the end of the program. And it will be my variable in subroutine. By the way can I assign ubound(array) into integer variable? I tried it but it was a failure aswell. I am a VBA user and this language is a bit unusual for me.
 
  • #8
It should work:
Fortran:
 integer :: i,imax
  ! output data into a file
  open(1, file='data1.dat', status='new')
   
  imax = ubound(X,1)

  do i=1,imax
  write(1,*) x(1,i), X(2,i)
  end do
  close(1)
 
  • #9
Now the problem is what I get as a result of my main program is VTARR(3001,2) named and dimensioned array.
How can I write a subroutine or a function that sends the values inside this array into .dat file?

Something similar to this but it won' t work as a separated subroutine or function:
Fortran:
imax=UBOUND(VTARR,1)
PAUSE
I=0
  open(1, file='data1.dat', status='new') 
   do I=1,imax,1
      write(1,*) VTARR(I,1), VTARR(I,2)  
   end do 
   close(1)
   ! opening the file for reading
   open (2, file='data1.dat', status='old')
 
  • #10
I don't understand. What you wrote should work. Can you explain better how what you want should be different from that?
 
  • #11
Yes it works inside my main program when I write it. But I want to write it outside my main code and use it as a function.

So that I can send various arrays into this function and get the .dat files from each of them.

NOT RELATED TO THİS TOPİC: By the way how can I add "," as a string in between my write(1,*) VTARR(I,1), VTARR(I,2) in order to have format required by datplot program. I need "," in between 2 columns of this array also.

Fortran:
write (1,*) VTARR(I,1), ',', VTARR(I,2)

By the way, you're asking for trouble by using plain 'I' as a variable name. In some fonts, it's very difficult to see typographical errors involving 'I', '1' and 'l'. :mad:

(also 'O' and '0')

1. What is a 2D array?

A 2D array, also known as a two-dimensional array, is a data structure that stores elements in a grid-like format with rows and columns. It allows for the efficient storage and retrieval of large amounts of data.

2. How do I create a 2D array in a dat file?

To create a 2D array in a dat file, you first need to open a text editor or spreadsheet program and input the data in a grid format, with each row representing a separate set of data. Save the file as a .dat file, and your 2D array will be created.

3. What are the advantages of using a 2D array in a dat file?

Using a 2D array in a dat file allows for efficient storage and retrieval of large amounts of data. It also allows for easy manipulation and analysis of data in a grid format, making it useful for scientific and mathematical applications.

4. How do I access data in a specific cell of a 2D array in a dat file?

To access data in a specific cell of a 2D array, you need to know the row and column number of the cell. You can then use these numbers to index into the array and retrieve the data. For example, to access the data in the third row and fifth column, you would use array[2][4].

5. Can I edit or update data in a 2D array in a dat file?

Yes, you can edit or update data in a 2D array in a dat file by opening the file in a text editor or spreadsheet program and making the necessary changes. However, it is important to note that the data must remain in a grid format for the array to function properly.
