PRINT

Syntax

The PRINT statement is the same as a formatted, sequential WRITE statement, except that the PRINT statement must never transfer data to user-specified I/O units. You can override this restriction by using an environment variable. For more information, see Building Applications: Logical Devices.

A PRINT statement takes one of the following forms:

Formatted:

PRINT form[, io-list]

Formatted - List-Directed:

PRINT *[, io-list]

Formatted - Namelist:

PRINT nml

form	Is the nonkeyword form of a format specifier (no FMT=).
io-list	Is an I/O list.
*	Is the format specifier indicating list-directed formatting.
nml	Is the nonkeyword form of a namelist specifier (no NML=) indicating namelist formatting.

Example

In the following example, one record (containing four fields of data) is printed to the implicit output device:

CHARACTER*16 NAME, JOB

PRINT 400, NAME, JOB

400 FORMAT ('NAME=', A, 'JOB=', A)

The following shows another example:

! The following statements are equivalent:

PRINT '(A11)', 'Abbottsford'

WRITE (*, '(A11)') 'Abbottsford'

TYPE '(A11)', 'Abbottsford'
