Getting fortran runtime error: end of file

Question

I have recently learned how to work with basic files in Fortran and I assumed it was as simple as:

open(unit=10,file=\"data.dat\")
read(10,*) some_variable,         


        

Answer 1

Thanks for all your help i did fix the code:

Function Load_Names(Staff_Name(65))!Loads Staff Names

    character(len=30) :: Staff_Name(65)
    integer :: i = 1

    open(unit=10, file="Staff_Names.txt", status='old', action='read')!opens file for reading

    do while(i < 66)!Sets Set_Name() equal to the file one string at a time

        read(10,*,end=100) Staff_Name(i)
        i = i + 1

    end do 
    100 close(10)!closes file
    return!returns Value
end Function Load_Names

I needed to change read(10,*) to read(10,*,END=100) so it knew what to do when it came to the end the file as it was in a loop I assume.
