Forms for Sequential WRITE Statements

Sequential WRITE statements transfer output data to external sequential access records. The statements can be formatted by using format specifiers (which can use list-directed formatting) or namelist specifiers (for namelist formatting), or they can be unformatted.

A sequential WRITE statement takes one of the following forms:

Formatted:

WRITE (eunit, format [, advance] [, iostat] [, err]) [io-list]

Formatted - List-Directed:

WRITE (eunit, * [, iostat] [, err]) [io-list]

Formatted - Namelist:

WRITE (eunit, nml-group [, iostat] [, err])

Unformatted:

WRITE (eunit [, iostat] [, err]) [io-list]

For more information, see WRITE in the A to Z Reference.
