Well, I did hear from the gfortran people... Immediately after I sent my
message to the bb.
So sorry about the post (the error had never occurred on all previous
compilers).
Fred.

The code is non-conforming. From the Fortran 2003 Standard.
9.5.1.11 REC= specifier in a data transfer statement
The REC= specifier specifies the number of the record that is to be
read or written. This specifier may appear only in an input/output
statement that specifies a unit connected for direct access; ...
PROGRAM TOTO
IREC=1
ISIZ1=1870
OPEN(UNIT=23,ACCESS='SEQUENTIAL',STATUS='SCRATCH',
. FORM='UNFORMATTED',RECL=ISIZ1)
WRITE(23,REC=IREC) IREC
END
Your code clearly specifies SEQUENTIAL access, so gfortran
reports the error. Change SEQUENTIAL to DIRECT.
