Character Data Type
The character data type can be specified as follows:
- CHARACTER
CHARACTER([LEN=]len)
CHARACTER(LEN=len, KIND=n)
CHARACTER(len, [KIND=]n)
CHARACTER(KIND=n [, LEN=len])
CHARACTER*len[,]
- n
Is an initialization expression that evaluates to kind 1.
- len
Is a string length (not a kind). For more information, see Declaration Statements for Character Types.
If no kind type parameter is specified, the kind of the constant is default character.
On Windows systems, several Multi-Byte Character Set (MBCS) functions are available to manipulate special
non-English characters.
