Solving Fortran Input File Problem - B

[Nrets]

Hey guys,

I am wondering if anyone could help me with a simple problem.

I want to remove key parameters from the "type declaration/parameter" portion of my code and into an external input file for easy access. The problem is, many of my variables (such as arrays) can't be defined until these key parameters are known. However, the program structure disallows a function like "open" in or before the array declarations. In other words, I can only open an input file after I have defined all my global variables. But I can't define all my global variables without opening the input file.

There has to be a solution, yes? Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I did not understand how you could not simply put some code like

Open (Unit=1, File='File.dat')
Read(1,*)var1
Read(1,*)var2
.
.
.
Read(1,*)varn
Close (Unit=1)

Mainly because you already use some Write\Reads, if I'm guessing right. Maybe some allocatable array? Could you show this bit of code?
