J3/97-010r3

Fortran 2000 Workplan

J3 standing document J3/97-010
as of 19 August 1997, after J3 meeting 142

The base for Fortran 2000 is Fortran 95. J3 will integrate the material from the following "R" and "T" items (and any "M"and "B" items that are finished in time) into the Fortran 95 standard to prepare the Fortran 2000 draft standard; J3 will deliver this draft document to WG5 in early 2000.

Questions and suggestions regarding specific items may be addressed to the respective "champions". Questions about and corrections to this workplan may be addressed to the J3 chair, J. Wagener.

Document links point to plain text document formats, where available, and to pdf or postscript formats otherwise. Many of the documents are available in various formats from the J3 document repository.

Separate, Optional Parts of the Fortran Family of Standards
(separate standards; not incorporated into Fortran 2000)
status
Varying String Data Type
Functionality defined; possible derived-type/module implementation provided.
standard
approved
