According to the Implementation Standard, there are mainly two methods for Fortran programs to use FORT unit files. One is through the export FORTn variable, the other approach is through the symbolic link method. The following two items are adapted from the Implementation Standard:
In terms of the HAFS application/workflow, I believe we always use the second approach through symbolic links. And we do not export any FORTn variables, for which, my understanding is that prep_step utility is not required in this case.
