Intel® Fortran Compiler 17.0 Developer Guide and Reference
A data edit descriptor takes one of the following forms:
[r]c
[r]cw
[r]cw.m
[r]cw.d
[r]cw.d[Ee]
r |
Is a repeat specification. The range of r is 1 through 2147483647 (2**31-1). If r is omitted, it is assumed to be 1. |
c |
Is one of the following format codes: I, B, O, Z, F, E, EN, ES, D, G, L, or A. |
w |
Is the total number of digits in the field (the field width). If omitted, the system applies default values (see Default Widths for Data Edit Descriptors). The range of w is 1 through 2147483647 (2**31-1) on Intel® 64 architecture; 1 through 32767 (2**15-1) on IA-32 architecture. For I, B, O, Z, and F, the range can start at zero. |
m |
Is the minimum number of digits that must be in the field (including leading zeros). The range of m is 0 through 32767 (2**15-1) on Intel® 64 architecture; 0 through 255 (2**8-1) on IA-32 architecture. |
d |
Is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point (the significant digits). The range of d is 0 through 32767 (2**15-1) on Intel® 64 architecture; 0 through 255 (2**8-1) on IA-32 architecture. The number of significant digits is affected if a scale factor is specified for the data edit descriptor. |
E |
Identifies an exponent field. |
e |
Is the number of digits in the exponent. The range of e is 1 through 32767 (2**15-1) on Intel® 64 architecture; 1 through 255 (2**8-1) on IA-32 architecture. |
Standard Fortran allows the field width to be omitted only for the A descriptor. However, Intel® Fortran allows the field width to be omitted for any data edit descriptor.
The r, w, m, d, and e must all be positive, unsigned, integer literal constants; or variable format expressions -- no kind parameter can be specified. They must not be named constants.
Actual useful ranges for r, w, m, d, and e may be constrained by record sizes (RECL) and the file system.
The data edit descriptors have the following specific forms:
Integer: |
Iw[.m], Bw[.m], Ow[.m], and Zw[.m] |
Real and complex: |
Fw.d, Ew.d[Ee], ENw.d[Ee], ESw.d[Ee], Dw.d, and Gw.d[Ee] |
Logical: |
Lw |
Character: |
A[w] |
The d must be specified with F, E, D, and G field descriptors even if d is zero. The decimal point is also required. You must specify both w and d, or omit them both.
A repeat specification can simplify formatting. For example, the following two statements are equivalent:
20 FORMAT (E12.4,E12.4,E12.4,I5,I5,I5,I5) 20 FORMAT (3E12.4,4I5)
! This WRITE outputs three integers, each in a five-space field
! and four reals in pairs of F7.2 and F5.2 values.
INTEGER(2) int1, int2, int3
REAL(4) r1, r2, r3, r4
DATA int1, int2, int3 /143, 62, 999/
DATA r1, r2, r3, r4 /2458.32, 43.78, 664.55, 73.8/
WRITE (*,9000) int1, int2, int3, r1, r2, r3, r4
9000 FORMAT (3I5, 2(1X, F7.2, 1X, F5.2))The following output is produced from the above code:
143 62 999 2458.32 43.78 664.55 73.80
