I came across this problem.

i could not use fortran format codes to print a character data and
numeric data.
for e.g.

n=indgen(4)
a=['earth', 'air','fire','water']
b=['solid','gas', 'heat', liquid']
then,

print,n,a,format='(i2,a5)'

i got

0 1
2 3
% Type conversion error: Unable to convert given STRING to Long64.
% Detected at: $MAIN$
0air
% Type conversion error: Unable to convert given STRING to Long64.
% Detected at: $MAIN$
0water

but then,

print,a,b,format='(a5,a7)'

i got the output

earth solid
air gas
fire heat
water liquid

What am I missing? I would be very glad if someone to help me.

Thank you very much.
