The CONVERT specifier asks what type of data conversion is in effect
for a file. It takes the following form:
CONVERT = fm
- fm
- Is a character scalar memory reference that is assigned one of
the following values:
- 'LITTLE_ENDIAN': If the file
is open with little endian integer and IEEE floating-point data
conversion in effect
- 'BIG_ENDIAN': If the file
is open with big endian integer and IEEE floating-point data
conversion in effect
- 'CRAY': If the file is open
with big endian integer and CRAY floating-point data conversion
in effect
- 'FDX': If the file is open
with little endian integer and Compaq VAX F_floating, D_floating,
and IEEE X_floating data conversion in effect
- 'FGX': If the file is open
with little endian integer and Compaq VAX F_floating, G_floating,
and IEEE X_floating data conversion in effect
- 'IBM': If the file is open
with big endian integer and IBM System\370 floating-point data
conversion in effect
- 'VAXD': If the file is open
with little endian integer and Compaq VAX F_floating, D_floating,
and H_floating data conversion in effect
- 'VAXG': If the file is open
with little endian integer and Compaq VAX F_floating, G_floating,
and H_floating data conversion in effect
- 'NATIVE': If the file is open with no data conversion in effect
- 'UNKNOWN': If the file or unit is not connected for unformatted I/O
