SUMMARY

In Microsoft FORTRAN, an application can send control characters directly to a printer with out printing them by using the CHAR intrinsic function.

MORE INFORMATION

The following code example prints the word "Hello," sends a form feed character (ASCII 12) to the printer, then prints the word "World."

Sample Code

C Compiler options required: None

      OPEN(6, FILE = 'LPT1', STATUS = 'OLD')
      WRITE(6, *) 'HELLO'
      WRITE(6, *) CHAR(12)
      WRITE(6, *) 'WORLD'
      END
