Covering the Period from [ ] to [ ] May 2004 to June 2005

Title of INCITS Subgroup: J3

Informal Description of Work:

    J3 is responsible for the Fortran programming language.

1. Executive Summary

Fortran 2003 and the Enhanced Modules TR has been issued by ISO. Preliminary work has begun, in conjunction
with WG5, defining the features of a proposed Fortran 2008.

2. Significant Accomplishments

The issuance of Fortran 2003 and the Enhanced Modules TR by ISO are our most significant accomplishments.

3. Significant Challenges

The size of the change from Fortran 95 to Fortran 2003 indicate that there may well be considerable effort spent in
interpretations processing. We are also working with WG5 towards a new revision of the standard which may
become Fortran 2008.

4. Expected Challenges

We expect effort to be spent processing interpretations against Fortran 2003. We have cleared the interpretations
against Fortran 90 and Fortran 95.
