Intel® Fortran Compiler 17.0 Developer Guide and Reference
On output, if a file was opened with CARRIAGECONTROL='FORTRAN' in effect, the first character of a record transmitted to a line printer or terminal is typically a character that is not printed, but used to control vertical spacing.
Printing control characters are a deleted feature in the Fortran Standard. Intel® Fortran fully supports features deleted in the Fortran Standard.
The following table lists the valid control characters for printing:
Character |
Meaning |
Effect |
|---|---|---|
+ |
Overprinting |
Outputs the record (at the current position in the current line) and a carriage return. |
- |
One line feed |
Outputs the record (at the beginning of the following line) and a carriage return. |
0 |
Two line feeds |
Outputs the record (after skipping a line) and a carriage return. |
1 |
Next page |
Outputs the record (at the beginning of a new page) and a carriage return. |
$ |
Prompting |
Outputs the record (at the beginning of the following line), but no carriage return. |

Any other character is interpreted as a blank and is deleted from the print line. If you do not specify a control character for printing, the first character of the record is not printed.
