CCL:G: Question about coding in Gaussian

 Sent to CCL by: Toomas Tamm [tt-ccl2^_^kky.ttu.ee]
 Given the diversity of replies to this question, I wish to express
 support to the view of Ödön Farkas, which in my opinion best agrees
 with the symptoms descibed in the original question.
 L101 and L301 are different executables. All data values are lost once
 L101 terminates, and initialized to zero when L301 starts. If data
 needs to be transfered from L101 to L301, it must be written to a disk
 file in L101 and read back in L301.
 I do not know how easy or difficult it is to add one's own COMMON
 block to the list of blocks which need to be written to the read-write
 file and retrieved in the other link, but this seems to be the way to
 go. Alternatively, the programmer might write data to a file he
 creates just for this purpose and then read it back. The latter may be
 easier to implement for ad-hoc experiments but may create problems (eg
 with portability) if the code is expected to be used by others, in
 other environments, etc.

 do this, in the sender subroutine (say L101.F) it is OK, which shows
 all correct values for the variables, but in receiver subroutines (say
 L301.F) it cannot show correct values, which all of them are zero.
