Runtime error while reading file in fortran90

[kranthi4689]

I'm new to fortran coding and trying to read a file called "data.dat" with data like a triangular matrix
0.1 0.1 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5

using the code
PROGRAM matrix IMPLICIT NONE REAL, DIMENSION(5,5) :: a INTEGER :: row,col,max_rows,max_cols max_rows=5 max_cols=5 OPEN(UNIT=10, FILE="dat.dat",status='old') DO row = 1,max_rows DO col = 1,max_cols if (col .le. row) then read(10,*) a(row,col) else a(row,col) = 0.0 endif END DO END DO DO row = 1,max_rows WRITE(*,*) (a(row,col),col = 1,max_cols) END DO END PROGRAM matrix

While executing the code I get the following error
At line 11 of file matrix.f90 (unit = 10, file = 'dat.dat')
Fortran runtime error: End of file
Error termination. Backtrace:

How do I rectify this error. kinldy help me.

Use an IOSTAT specifier in your READ statement to tell the program what to do when it reaches the end of file.

Aha, now I see something else which is likely your real problem. You're reading only one item at a time. Each READ statement reads a whole line at once, so this requires that each item be on a separate line.

If each line of the file contains a whole row of the matrix, the READ statement should read all of those items at once.

(it looks like BvU wrote his post while I was adding the "Aha...".)

Hi,

Your read statement starts on a new record (line) for every call, so after five calls it hits end-of file.

You need to read all values on a line in a single call to read, e.g. with an implied DO loop .
So get rid of the DO col = 1,max_cols and use something like (I didn't try it out)

read (10,*) (a(row,col), col = 1, row)

There should be one more left-parenthesis:

read (10,*) (a(row,col), col = 1, row))

Tip: for testing and debugging, always put a WRITE statement immediately after every new READ statement, so you can check that you're actually reading what you intended to read. After you're sure your READ is working properly, you can remove the WRITE.

thank you @jtbell.. it worked.
