vim, inserting line number at specific line

I am testing few fortran codes by including print statements at various places. I also want to include a line number in the print statement, like:

...
write(*,*)'[current line #] I am here'
.....
.....
write(*,*)'[current line #] I am here too'

currently, I am inserting the line number manually by looking at the status bar. Is there any macro for the same?

In insert mode, you can do:

<C-r>=line('.')<CR>

In normal mode, you can create a simple mapping:

nnoremap <F9> :execute ":normal 0iline number: " . line('.') . " hello world"<CR>

which outputs this when executed on line 39:

line number: 39 hello world

See :help line() and, more generally, :help functions.

A simple expression mapping will do:

:inoremap <expr> <F11> line('.')

Or, if you prefer a complete abbreviation (type debug + Space to trigger it):

:inoreabbrev <expr> debug "write(*,*)'" . line('.')

You can include line('.') inside your macro, which returns the cursor line number.
