Fortran programming help

[Frankpendegrass]

Hi.
I have an executable, call it, Pend.exe, that is required to run input files. The trouble is, the input files are about 1000 and they all have different names. How do I write a program in Fortran, that calls the executable, Pend.exe, and successively runs each input file ? Kindly help.

Frank.

A few ways of doing this

Method 1
1) Create a file with all your input files
2) Use the system call with each of these files as a parameter.

Method 2
Don't bother with the fortran program: just use a batch/shell script.

Presumably, "Pend.exe" accepts the input file name as an input parameter?

Then the best way is to use a OS command to list the files that are intended inputs, save the result of the list into a file, edit the file to add the Pend.exe command before each file name, and convert the resulting file into an executable script. Doing it with a Fortran program will be longer to implement, and the result would be the same.
