I have been observing this thread with some amusement. Fortran 90
(91, 9x?) picked up a number of circa 1970 ideas from APL, but missed
a lot of the newer (and older) concepts of the language. For a more
detailed tirade, see "Fortran 90 Arrays" in the January 1991 SIGPLAN
Notices.

However, the way to display the value of MATRIX in APL, assuming you don't
know up front how big it is, is:

      MATRIX

If you DO know how big it is, you can use this alternate form:
      MATRIX

(SOrry, folks, but I couldn't resist)  8~}
