Alex,
It appears to be in the git repo, so if that is 2.4.7, then yes.
Attached is a patch that works for me, checking to see if the XL Fortran
compiler is at least Version 16 or better (maybe a better way of checking).
Thanks for responding so quickly,
Bill
I have more general workaround where I check the IBM XL Fortran
version. See example below:
