Does LF90 support Holleriths?

[Lahey Support]

Yes, to some degree. Fatal errors are generated in the following circumstances:

* When literal data of any type, including that using a Hollerith, is assigned to a variable that has not been declared as a character.
* When a Hollerith is used and the line has characters past column 72.
* When a Hollerith is extended to the next line.

The TRANSFER function or EQUIVALENCE statement can be used if a numeric representation of a variable is required after it has been assigned an alpha-numeric expression by a Hollerith. The TRANSFER function is recommended.
