＜Syntax＞

NON_RECURSIVE

The NON_RECURSIVE keyword may appear only in the prefix of a FUNCTION or SUBROUTINE statement.

＜Semantics＞

The NON_RECURSIVE keyword specifies that all procedures defined by this subprogram are not called recursively. (A subprogram can define several procedures by using the ENTRY statement.)

This was the default prior to Fortran 2018, and remains the default for CHARACTER(*) functions.
