154. Use NEWUNIT in OPEN to get an unused unit number.#
topic: Input and Output
Note
This tip is a draft1.
open (newunit=iu,…)
is a Fortran 2008 feature that finds an unused unit number less than -1. By doing this instead of hard coding a unit number, you avoid inadvertently using a unit number that is already connected.
