    Apparently, the current subroutine being compiled cannot have an
    interface in the module being USEd.

    The Metcalf Fortran 95 book says that I can exempt the current
    subroutine from the USE by:

    USE module_name, exempt_this_one => name

    where name is the name of current subroutine or function without the
    file suffix and without the path.

    I just need a way to generalize the name and __FILE__ does not work.

    Is there any idea how to generalize the "name" without adding a specific
    use statement for each one of my 5,000+ subroutines ?

    If all of your general purpose subroutines and functions are in modules,
    you don't need interfaces for them (one of the advantages of modules).

    I have 6,000 subroutines in 5,000 files. All I did was put interfaces
    for about 2,600 of the subroutines into a single module.

    I wasn't suggesting a single module. Partition the subprograms into
    meaningful subgroups. Also, as was indicated, you can use submodules to
    avoid cascading compilation issues with a large number of modules.

    My father and two other engineer profs started developing the software
    back in 1968 on a Univac 1108. It had 32K words of data space and 32K
    words of code space. To build large software, we had to manually
    partition the software ourselves so that it would fit into those 32K
    words of code space. It was a major pain when somebody would update a subroutine and mess up the partition map.

    When I personally started working on the software in 1975, it was one of
    my jobs to update the huge partition map on the wall outside my bosses
    office. I used the big computer sheets and taped them together, about a hundred or so of the sheets.

    Never again.

    Were you using @FOR (Fielddata) or @FTN (Ascii)?
    Things became much simpler when multiple Ibanks and addresses over 0200
    000 became possible (for @ftn, @for was abandoned at some point). I
    think @ftn also permitted multiple Dbanks but I never used that, the
    code generated was - by necessity - horrific.

    A better alternative would be to put the subroutines in the module
    and USE the module. Then you don't need the interfaces (the
    compiler gets all of the interface information "automagically").

    850,000 lines of code in a single file ?  That would be a mess.

    I wasn't suggesting a single module. Partition the subprograms into
    meaningful subgroups. Also, as was indicated, you can use submodules
    to avoid cascading compilation issues with a large number of modules.

    My father and two other engineer profs started developing the software
    back in 1968 on a Univac 1108.  It had 32K words of data space and 32K
    words of code space.  To build large software, we had to manually
    partition the software ourselves so that it would fit into those 32K
    words of code space.  It was a major pain when somebody would update a
    subroutine and mess up the partition map.

    When I personally started working on the software in 1975, it was one
    of my jobs to update the huge partition map on the wall outside my
    bosses office.  I used the big computer sheets and taped them
    together, about a hundred or so of the sheets.

    Never again.

    Were you using @FOR (Fielddata) or @FTN (Ascii)?
    Things became much simpler when multiple Ibanks and addresses over 0200
    000 became possible (for @ftn, @for was abandoned at some point).  I
    think @ftn also permitted multiple Dbanks but I never used that, the
    code generated was - by necessity - horrific.

    It has been 49 years ago, I do not remember. Too many computers, too
    many languages. I have written software in around dozen languages and a
    dozen platforms now. Fortran, IBM 370 Assembly, Basic, Pascal, C, HTML,
    Perl, C++, Smalltalk, bsh, Visual Basic, etc.

    We gave up on the Univac 1108 in 1981 ??? and the CDC 7600 in 1982. I
    started working at another company in 1982 when I finished my degree in Mechanical Engineering at TAMU. I went back to the engineering software company in 1989.

    I have 6,000 subroutines in 5,000 files.  All I did was put
    interfaces for about 2,600 of the subroutines into a single module. >>>>>>>

    My exposure to Univac started in 1979 on the 1106 and we were using
    Ascii Fortran - @ftn - there. @for was still around but was considered obsolete. It was a similar story with Cobol, we used Ascii Cobol -
    @acob - rather than the older Fieldata equivalents.
