Question

I keep trying to fead this file into Fortran and output and format the data however I keep getting this message about The Runtime requesting to be terminated or something.

   Real X
   Real AVG, SUM, Y
   open(3, File = 'C: test.txt')
   open(5, File = 'C: test1.out')
   SUM = 0.
   Do 29, J = 1, 30
   Read(3, 60) X
60   Format(2x, F4.2)
   SUM = SUM + X
29   continue
   AVG = Sum / 30
   write(5, 65) AVG
65   Format(2x, 'Avg = ', F8.2)
*        Read *, Y
     Stop
     End

Answer 1

Depending on your OS (meaning, compiler and your actual operating system) there are few things that can go wrong with that example.

For a start

open(3, file='c:\test.txt')

is closer how that line is supposed to look like, although it is ususally best to just have the file in the same directory as the working program.
