How does the Fortran90 function floor not have a main type?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on an error encountered in Fortran 90 when using the intrinsic function floor with the Intel Fortran Compiler version 11.1. The error message indicates that the variable PLANET_DAY_RATIO lacks an explicit type, leading to confusion regarding its recognition by the compiler. Users suggest defining PLANET_DAY_RATIO as a parameter and converting integers to real types before performing mixed operations to resolve the issue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fortran 90 syntax and intrinsic functions
  • Familiarity with the Intel Fortran Compiler (ifort) and its versioning
  • Knowledge of data types in Fortran, particularly integer and real types
  • Experience with subroutine structure and variable declaration in Fortran
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the use of intrinsic functions in Fortran 90, focusing on floor
  • Learn about type conversion techniques in Fortran, specifically int() and nint()
  • Explore best practices for variable declaration and type management in Fortran
  • Investigate common errors in Fortran related to type mismatches and how to troubleshoot them
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for Fortran developers, particularly those using the Intel Fortran Compiler, and anyone troubleshooting type-related errors in numerical computations.

/home/disk/p/atms380/xx/October-Runs/timeManMod/SourceMods/time_manager.F90(664):
error #6404: This name does not have a type, and must have an explicit
type. [FLOOR]
tmd = day_earth/PLANET_DAY_RATIO - floor(day_earth/PLANET_DAY_RATIO)

I'm running Fortran 90 with the ifort compiler. As far as I can tell, floor is a function introduced in Fortran 90

Using Fortran compiler: ifort -O -I/home/disk/eos11/bitz/cam3.1/cam1/models/utils/esmf -I/home/disk/eos11/bitz/cam3.1/cam1/models/utils/esmf/src/include -I/home/disk/eos11/bitz/cam3.1/cam1/models/utils/esmf/build/linux_intel -I/home/disk/eos11/bitz/cam3.1/cam1/models/utils/esmf/include -I/home/disk/eos11/bitz/cam3.1/cam1/models/utils/esmf/src/Infrastructure/mpiuni
Fortran Compiler version:
Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler Professional for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 11.1 Build 20091130 Package ID: l_cprof_p_11.1.064

The compiler seems to be complaining that the PLANET_DAY_RATIO thing in the call to the floor intrinsic doesn't have a type. A workaround might be to define it as a parameter.
 
That's strange, it should recognize "floor()"

Can you test if int() and nint() work?
 
I see - thanks very much for the reply!

Here is the subroutine. I defined PLANET_DAY_RATIO within the subroutine. Am I doing it wrong?

Code:
subroutine get_curr_date(yr, mon, day, tod, offset)

! Return date components valid at end of current timestep with an optional
! offset (positive or negative) in seconds.

   implicit none
   
! Arguments
   integer, intent(out) ::&
      yr,    &! year
      mon,   &! month
      day,   &! day of month
      tod     ! time of day (seconds past 0Z)

   integer, optional, intent(in) :: offset  ! Offset from current time in seconds.
                                            ! Positive for future times, negative 
                                            ! for previous times.

! Local variables
   character(len=*), parameter :: sub = 'get_curr_date'
   integer :: rc
   type(esmf_date) :: date
   type(esmf_time) :: off
   integer :: ymd
   integer :: leap_days
   integer :: yZero
   integer :: day_earth
   float :: PLANET_DAY_RATIO

(stuff)

   yr = ymd/10000
   mon = mod(ymd, 10000) / 100
   day = mod(ymd, 100)
	PLANET_DAY_RATIO = 0.5 !0.5 is for spinning twice as fast, or 43200 seconds
	yZero = start_ymd/10000
	leap_days = (yr -yZero)/4
   day_earth = day_earth + 365*(yr -yZero) + leap_days
	tmd = day_earth/PLANET_DAY_RATIO - floor(day_earth / PLANET_DAY_RATIO)
   
end subroutine get_curr_date

mod() definitely works, so I'm pretty sure that floor() should work too
 
Hi simfish. I'm not real big on Fortran but when I have used it I've generally had problems whenever I've tried to mix integers and reals in the same expression. Honestly I've given up on trying to figure out the whys and where-fores and now I simply assign all integers to a temporary real before using them in a mixed expression.

Something like

Code:
integer :: day_earth
real :: day_earth_tmp, PLANET_DAY_RATIO

...
day_earth_tmp = day_earth
tmd = day_earth_tmp/PLANET_DAY_RATIO - floor(day_earth_tmp / PLANET_DAY_RATIO)
 
Ah okay - thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to see if that works tomorrow.
