Fortran 90: giving the variable's value on the execution of a program

[arhangela]

Hello

I wondered if in Fortran 90 I can define a variable whose value will be given only while executing the program, in the same line as the execution command, for example like this:

./exe 100

I know one can use the "read" command, but that way you only enter the variable's value once the program is executed (in a new line)

I tried to Google it but I'm new to Fortran and I'm not sure to know the right terms to look for it efficiently.

Thanks!

Try Googling for

fortran 90 command line arguments

The first page has several references that look promising.
