In a data transfer statement, a simple list of items takes the following form:
item [, item] ...
item |
Is one of the following:
|
The data transfer statement assigns values to (or transfers values from) the list items in the order in which the items appear, from left to right.
When multiple array names are used in the I/O list of an unformatted input or output statement, only one record is read or written, regardless of how many array name references appear in the list.
The following example shows a simple I/O list:
WRITE (6,10) J, K(3), 4, (L+4)/2, N
When you use an array name reference in an I/O list, an input statement reads enough data to fill every item of the array. An output statement writes all of the values in the array.
Data transfer begins with the initial item of the array and proceeds in the order of subscript progression, with the leftmost subscript varying most rapidly. The following statement defines a two-dimensional array:
DIMENSION ARRAY(3,3)
If the name ARRAY appears with no subscripts in a READ statement, that statement assigns values from the input record(s) to ARRAY(1,1), ARRAY(2,1), ARRAY(3,1), ARRAY(1,2), and so on through ARRAY(3,3).
An input record contains the following values:
1,3,721.73
The following example shows how variables in the I/O list can be used in array subscripts later in the list:
DIMENSION ARRAY(3,3)
...
READ (1,30) J, K, ARRAY(J,K)
When the READ statement is executed, the first input value is assigned to J and the second to K, establishing the subscript values for ARRAY(J,K). The value 721.73 is then assigned to ARRAY(1,3). Note that the variables must appear before their use as array subscripts.
Consider the following derived-type definition and structure declaration:
TYPE EMPLOYEE
INTEGER ID
CHARACTER(LEN=40) NAME
END TYPE EMPLOYEE
...
TYPE(EMPLOYEE) :: CONTRACT ! A structure of type EMPLOYEE
The following statements are equivalent:
READ *, CONTRACT
READ *, CONTRACT%ID, CONTRACT%NAME
The following shows more examples:
! A variable and array element in iolist:
REAL b(99)
READ (*, 300) n, b(n) ! n and b(n) are the iolist
300 FORMAT (I2, F10.5) ! FORMAT statement telling what form the input data has
! A derived type and type element in iolist:
TYPE YOUR_DATA
REAL a
CHARACTER(30) info
COMPLEX cx
END TYPE YOUR_DATA
TYPE (YOUR_DATA) yd1, yd2
yd1.a = 2.3
yd1.info = "This is a type demo."
yd1.cx = (3.0, 4.0)
yd2.cx = (4.5, 6.7)
! The iolist follows the WRITE (*,500).
WRITE (*, 500) yd1, yd2.cx
! The format statement tells how the iolist will be output.
500 FORMAT (F5.3, A21, F5.2, ',', F5.2, ' yd2.cx = (', F5.2,
',',F5.2, ' )')
! The output looks like:
! 2.300This is a type demo 3.00, 4.00 yd2.cx = ( 4.50, 6.70 )
The following example uses an array and an array section:
! An array in the iolist:
INTEGER handle(5)
DATA handle / 5*0 /
WRITE (*, 99) handle
99 FORMAT (5I5)
! An array section in the iolist.
WRITE (*, 100) handle(2:3)
100 FORMAT (2I5)
The following shows another example:
PRINT *,'(I5)', 2*3 ! The iolist is the expression 2*3.
The following example uses a namelist:
! Namelist I/O:
INTEGER int1
LOGICAL log1
REAL r1
CHARACTER (20) char20
NAMELIST /mylist/ int1, log1, r1, char20
int1 = 1
log1 = .TRUE.
r1 = 1.0
char20 = 'NAMELIST demo'
OPEN (UNIT = 4, FILE = 'MYFILE.DAT', DELIM = 'APOSTROPHE')
WRITE (UNIT = 4, NML = mylist)
! Writes the following:
! &MYLIST
! INT1 = 1,
! LOG1 = T,
! R1 = 1.000000,
! CHAR20 = 'NAMELIST demo '
! /
REWIND(4)
READ (4, mylist)
