f77 could not digest the following program; it handled it fine when
I have the declaration of the character variable.
--------------------   cut   ---------------------------------
      program test
*      character*80 inpfile
*      inpfile = '10-28-86'
      open(1,file="/usr/local/lib/"//inpfile,
     *       status='old',err=111,form='unformatted',
     *access='direct',recl=5752)

      print*,'Open SUCCESSFUL'
      stop

 111  print*,'Open FAILED'
      stop
      end
--------------------   cut   ---------------------------------
Here is the response I received for 'f77 test.f':

Fatal error in: /usr/lib/fcom - core dumped
