date_and_time in g77

[jruth@lci.kent.edu (Jon Ruth)]

I'm new to gcc/g77 and would appreciate recommendations on the
following problem.

The documentation for g77 f90 intrinsic date_and_time indicates that
four parameters are returned:

	CALL Date_and_Time(Date, Time, Zone, Values)
	Date: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(OUT). 
	Time: CHARACTER; OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT). 
	Zone: CHARACTER; OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT). 
	Values: INTEGER(KIND=1); OPTIONAL; DIMENSION(8); INTENT(OUT). 

I wrote the following:

     character*10 datizn(3)
     integer*2 ivalues(8)
     call date_and_time(datizn(1),datizn(2),datizn(3),ivalues)

and received the following error message:

	call date_and_time(datizn(1),datizn(2),datizn(3),ivalues)
     	^
	Too many arguments passed to intrinsic `DATE_AND_TIME' at (^)

I eventually reduced the call to:

     character*8 date
     call date_and_time(date)

and the compiler was happy.

I'm porting an F77 application that compiled with Watcom but used time
and date calls that g77 does not support.  The integer representations
that the array ivalues(8) should return would involve the least amount
of rewriting.

What do I need to do in order to get date_and_time to behave as
advertised?  I suspect that the proper libraries have not been
included.

    (NOTE:  We're running Debian Linux with gcc 2.95.2.  ["g77 version
     2.95.2 19991109 (Debian GNU/Linux) (from FSF-g77 version 0.5.25
     1999 1030 (prerelease))"])

Thanks.
