7.3.1 Sequential WRITE Statements

Sequential WRITE statements transfer output data from internal storage to external records accessed under the sequential mode of access. (See your user manual for descriptions of the various access modes.)

Sequential WRITE statements can be formatted, list-directed, namelist, or unformatted, taking one of the following forms:

Formatted

WRITE (extu, fmt [,iostat] [,err]) [iolist]

List-Directed

WRITE (extu, *[,iostat] [,err]) [iolist]

WRITE (extu, nml [,iostat] [,err])

Unformatted

WRITE (extu [,iostat] [,err]) [iolist]

extu

Is an external unit specifier.

fmt

Is a format specifier.

iostat

Is an I/O status specifier.

err

Is a transfer-of-control specifier.

iolist

Is the I/O-list specifier.

*

Is a list-directed format specifier. This parameter can also be specified as FMT=*.

nml

Is a namelist specifier.

The control-list parameters are extu, fmt, iostat, err, * (or FMT=*), and nml. The I/O list parameter is iolist.
