Identifier length exceeds the maximum of 31 characters
I use the sun f90 compiler to compile a subroutine. However, the compiler told me the subroutine's name is too long. Deos anybody know how to solve this problem? I really need such long subroutine name. Many thanks!
% f90 -DCAM -DNO_SHR_VMATH -DHIDE_SHR_MSG -inline=%auto -fast -g -fsimple=1 -fns=no -O4 -DHIDE_MPI -g -c gfdl_column_diagnostics_mod.F90
gfdl_column_diagnostics_mod.F90", Line = 379, Column = 15: ERROR: Identifier length exceeds the maximum of 31 characters.

Which version of the compiler are you using? The compiler
will tell you which version it is if you use the option -V. You
can also run the version command on the compiler's
executable file.
The limit on the length of an identifier was increased to 127
characters in 2005.

Yes, I am afraid so. You can download the latest version at no charge
from Sun's website. I suggest waiting until Monday or Tuesday to
download it.
You might have a problem mixing old and new .mod files with such an
old version of the compiler. You should plan on recompiling all your
files that contain modules.
