    I have been using the Fortran inbuilt function TINY (running
    gfortran) but now the compiler baulks:

    5 | print '(" Tiny(1) =", es12.2)', TINY(1.0_dbl)
    | 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.
