Namelist Specifier

The namelist specifier indicates namelist formatting and identifies the namelist group for data transfer. It takes the following form:

[NML=]group

group
Is the name of a namelist group previously declared in a NAMELIST statement.

If the keyword NML is omitted, the namelist specifier must be the second specifier in the control list; the io-unit specifier must be first.

If a namelist specifier appears in a control list, a format specifier must not appear.
