Error using a read statement

Question

I am currently working on a FORTRAN program that is to read an input file. Once reading the input file, the first line of the file contains an integer representing the amount of matrices in the file. The second line contains how many rows and columns each matrix has. the rest of the lines contain the matrices themselves. The program will read in each matrix and write it to an output file as well as calculate the sum of all the matrices. When reading in the matrix data I keep receiving these two errors

Code: READ(1,*,END=99)(DIMENSIONS(I), I=1,2)

Error: Constants and expressions are invalid in read-only I/O lists.

Error2: This label is undefined [99]

My code is:

Answer 1

Dimensions is declared in a peculiar way. Try dimensions (2). Maybe this has something to do with it since the line with the error message is the first to use dimensions.

Answer 2

Uh, I think it wants to go to line "99" on EOF.

And you haven't defined a line 99 yet, have you?

Suggestion: try putting in a line "99 CONTINUE".
