NESC0678 MORTRAN2

1. NAME OR DESIGNATION OF PROGRAM:  MORTRAN2

3. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR FUNCTION

MORTRAN2    is   a    FORTRAN
language extension that permits a  relatively easy transition from
FORTRAN  to  a  more  convenient  and  structured  language.   Its
features include free-field format; alphanumeric statement labels;
flexible comment  convention; nested  block structure;  for-by-to,
do,  while,  until,  loop,  if-then-elseif-else,  exit,  and  next
statements;    multiple   assignment    statements;    conditional
compilation; and  automatic listing indentation.  The  language is
implemented  by   a  macro-based  pre-processor  and   is  further
extensible by user-defined macros.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

The MORTRAN2 pre-processor may be regarded as
a  compiler  whose object  code  is  ANSI Standard  FORTRAN.   The
MORTRAN2 language is dynamically defined by macros which are input
at each use of the pre-processor.

5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROBLEM

The  pre-processor
output must be accepted by a FORTRAN compiler.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME:  Processing of the sample problem used about
2 seconds.

7. UNUSUAL FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

The  MORTRAN2  pre-processor  is
written in ANSI  Standard FORTRAN, and the output  also is FORTRAN
so  that  transportability  of  both  the  pre-processor  and  its
generated programs  is assured.  By  changing the input  macros, a
knowledgeable user can  tailor MORTRAN2 to a specific  need, or he
can develop an entirely new high-level language and still preserve
portability.

8. RELATED AND AUXILIARY PROGRAMS

MORTRAN2 is  an extension  of the
earlier  MORTRAN  language  used  for  SLAC  high  energy  physics
applications.

11. MACHINE REQUIREMENTS:  170K bytes of memory

13. OPERATING SYSTEM UNDER WHICH PROGRAM IS EXECUTED:   OS/360,370.

14. OTHER PROGRAMMING OR OPERATING INFORMATION OR RESTRICTIONS

MORTRAN2 should be readily adaptable for use on non-IBM computers.
It  is  expected  that  the  version  being  distributed  will  be
integrated  into the  operating system  via cataloged  procedures.
MORTRAN2 can, however, be implemented  as a stand-alone batch job.
The  MORTRAN2 user's  guide and  a system  programmer's guide  are
included as files on the transmittal tape.
