       end

The error you show doesn't agree with the code you listed. The compiler is complaining about this line print*, cap= one (m:m)------------------------------Capitalize:
but there's no line that looks like that in your code. My suggestion is to save your code, and then recompile, and see if you get the same error again.

i did just as you requested and still got this

Here's what I would try -- remove all spaces from the label 5 in your format statement.

    do i = 1, 5
        print*, "Enter any 2-character string (e.g. enter er) ..."
        read 5, str 
        print*, index(name,str)
    end do 
5 format(A)

Older Fortran versions were very picky about what could appear in a given column. Perhaps your compiler is complaining that the label for your format statement isn't in the right place.

You could also get rid of the format statement completely.

read *, str

 

[FactChecker]

Are you sure that you can put an entire array name in the print statement of line 38? It might just want a single ellement. In older FORTRANs one had to loop some way through the elements. The loop can be included in the print statement like:
WRITE(*,*) (x(i), y(i), i=1, n)
