First error: unterminated string constant. Get rid of the " at the
end of the line.

Second error: the test for inequality is != not !==
Third error: you should test for something being equal or not equal

Fourth error: your function just ended here - check the matching {}.

The LOGICAL type is in the ICT 1900 FORTRAN manual, dated 1966/7;
documentation implies a matching ASA standard.
