10.5.1 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]

eunit
Is an external unit specifier ([UNIT=]io-unit).

format
Is a format specifier ([FMT=]format).

advance
Is an advance specifier (ADVANCE=c-expr). If the value of c-expr is 'YES', the statement uses advancing output; if the value is 'NO', the statement uses nonadvancing output. The default value is 'YES'.

iostat
Is a status specifier (IOSTAT=i-var).

err
Is a branch specifier (ERR=label) if an error condition occurs.

io-list
Is an I/O list.

*
Is the format specifier indicating list-directed formatting. (It can also be specified as FMT=*.)

nml-group
Is a namelist specifier ([NML=]group) indicating namelist formatting.
