I have been using the Fortran inbuilt function TINY (running gfortran)

      |                                       1
Error: Syntax error in PRINT statement at (1)
 
(I am defining dbl in a module).
 
What is going on?

 
Do you have an unprintable control character somewhere in that line of
code?
 
Kind of hard to say anything more without seeing a minimum complete
code.
 
What version of gfortran and what OS and hardware?

The problem was in that line, so I considered the
rest of the (longish) program irrelevant. But OK.

You might be right about an unprintable, because
when I made up a small mini-example, TINY works.
Meanwhile I had changed it in the offending function
to 1.0E-10_dbl, which fixed it, but I don't like it.
I will now try going back to using TINY.
