Note:

If the name CURDIR has already been defined for a non-string (i.e., a parameter or a variable name), then the CURDIR string will not be created. Note:

The returned working directory name will be truncated at 255 characters (both in the printed feedback and for the CURDIR string). Note:

The PWD command is implemented using the library function GETCWD. This is not part of the Fortran standard, so the PWD command may not be supported on all platforms. It should be available on Unix/Linux systems. It is also supported on Windows implementations built with the Intel compiler. Related Commands:
