Hi I need to wirt a function in frtran77 that does the following:
integer function delete(id, list, n) where
� delete returns 0 if the deletion was successful, -1 if the list is empty, and -2 if the user is not currently in the list.
� id is the integer identification number of the user.
� list is the integer array from which the id is to be removed.
� n is the current length of the list.
I have wrote the code

(Toggle Plain Text)

  integer function delete(id,list,n)

        integer id,indexe,n,list(n)
        integer delete,nempty,idx,m

        delete=-100
        nempty=0           
      
        do 1000 idx=1,n      
        if (list(idx).EQ.101) then
          nempty=nempty+1
        end if
        
        if (list(idx) .EQ. id) then
           delete=0
           indexe=idx
                 do 30 m= indexe,n - 1  
                   list(m) = list(m+1) 
30               continue
                  n = n-1

        end if
      
 1000 continue
 
      if (delete .EQ. 0) then  
        return
      end if
      
      if (nempty .eq. n) then  
        delete=-1
        return
      end if
      
      delete=-2                
      return
      end

The way I call it in main is

(Toggle Plain Text)

integer p
.......
	else if(option.EQ.'DU') then
      write(6,*)'delete user',A
      p=delete(A,list,hh)
      write(6,*)'value of delete*',p
      
.................

when I remove the command in bolde it compile OK.

When I compile I have the following message
*** FUNCTION 'DELETE' returns a INTEGER(KIND=3) but has been called as if it returns a REAL(KIND=1) (from the main program)
I dont know why.
Please can someone help me please
B.

Please show your "main" function. If it's too large, zip and attach it.

Add a line "integer delete" to the set of declarations at the top of your main function. Optionally you might also wish to add a line "external delete" before that line. Essentially these are about telling the compiler that delete is a function that returns an integer (it will assume the function returns a REAL otherwise), which is what the error message is suggesting. The potential need for these does not change by simply having the function delete in the same source file.
