SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on creating a Fortran 90 program to process output files named in a sequential format (file.datA, file.datB, etc.). The user aims to implement a loop that modifies the filename by appending letters A-Z to a base string "file.dat". A suggested solution involves defining a new character variable that concatenates the base filename with the appropriate suffix using the TRIM function to manage spaces effectively.
