8.5 Character Class

The Character Class is used to describe a character scalar or array in the CÆSAR Code Package. The Character Class does not use a user-defined type - it is the class for the F90 intrinsic type ``character''.

Character public procedures:

	Fundamental procedures
	Initialize		Initializes a character scalar or array variable.
	Finalize		Finalizes a character scalar or array variable.
	Valid_State		Returns false iff a character scalar or array variable is in an invalid state.

The Character Class code listing contains additional documentation. The Character Class also contains a Unit Test Program.
