Why Does My Fortran 95 Program Show Random_seed(): PUT Array Too Small?

[Apollion]

Hello everone!So i am writing this code where I am producoing random numbers from a generator through a subroutine.Then I call the subroutine and pass them through a Gaussian distribution.I have problem with my seed subroutine: my program compiles but when i try to execute it complain that "Random_seed(): PUT array too small" i have no idea what does this means!

Here is my subroutine:
subroutine setSEED (seed)
implicit none

real*8:: x
integer, dimension(2), intent(inout):: seed
if (seed(1) == 0.0) &
this where
it complains --> seed = floor(1000*secnds(0.0)) +(/0, 37 /)
--> call random_seed(put=seed)

end subroutine setSEED

and my gaussian distribution :

Real*8 Function gasdev(idum)
implicit none
integer, intent(inout) :: idum
integer, save::iset
real*8:: fac,rsq,v1,v2
real*8, dimension(2) :: x
real*8, save :: gset
!data iset/0/
if (idum.lt.0) iset=0
if (iset.eq.0) then
rsq = 0.0
do while (rsq > 1.0.or.rsq==0)
call random_number(x)
v1=2.*x(1)-1
v2=2.*x(2)-1
rsq=v1**2+v2**2

end do

fac=sqrt(-2.*log(rsq)/rsq)
gset=v1*fac
gasdev=v2*fac
iset=1
else
gasdev=gset
iset=0
endif

return

end Function gasdev

...AND MY MAIN PROGRAM:

program mainprog

implicit none

real*8::angle,gasdev,number
integer::i
integer, dimension(2) :: seed = 0

open(299,FILE='gauss.dat',STATUS='REPLACE')

call setSEED(seed)

Do i=1,10,1


angle=gasdev(seed)
print*,"angle=gasdev =",angle
write(299,*),angle


end do

close(299,STATUS="KEEP")
end program mainprog


Do you guys think can help me?its so frustrating!thank you all! :)

What are you trying to do with this code:

seed = floor(1000*secnds(0.0)) +(/0, 37 /)  
call random_seed(put=seed)

In the first line, floor returns a single value, so it looks like you are trying to add a scalar to a vector - you can't do that.

Hello everone!So i am writing this code where I am producoing random numbers from a generator through a subroutine.Then I call the subroutine and pass them through a Gaussian distribution.I have problem with my seed subroutine: my program compiles
</QUOTE>

Are you sure? There appear to be at least two errors in it.
It is necessary to get a clean compilation before attempting to execute
the program.
1. "secnds" is not a known Fortran name. Nor it it defined. What is it?
2. The statement:
write(299,*),angle
in the main program has a useless comma in it.

To get useful advice, you need to post ALL and EVERY error message(s).

What are you trying to do with this code:

seed = floor(1000*secnds(0.0)) +(/0, 37 /)  
call random_seed(put=seed)

In the first line, floor returns a single value, so it looks like you are trying to add a scalar to a vector - you can't do that.

It's perfectly legal to add a scalar to a vector.
Thus,
seed = 5 + (/ 0, 37 /)
is OK too.
The problem with the line is that "secnds" has not been defined.

Hello,

I can see that you are using the Fortran 95 random_seed() function to generate random numbers for your program. The error message you are getting, "PUT array too small", means that the array you are passing to the random_seed() function is not large enough to hold the generated random numbers.

In your setSEED subroutine, you are setting the seed to be a two-element array, with one of the elements being set to 0. However, in your main program, you are passing the seed as a single integer value, which is not large enough to hold the generated random numbers.

I would suggest modifying your setSEED subroutine to accept a larger array, such as a four-element array, and then passing that array to the random_seed() function in your main program. This should resolve the "PUT array too small" error.

I hope this helps and good luck with your program!
