Advance Specifier (ADVANCE=)
The advance specifier determines whether nonadvancing I/O occurs for a data transfer statement. It takes the following form:
ADVANCE=c-expr
c-expr |
Is a scalar character expression that evaluates to 'YES' for advancing I/O or 'NO' for nonadvancing I/O. The default value is 'YES'. Trailing blanks in the expression are ignored. The values specified are without regard to case. |
The ADVANCE specifier can appear only in a formatted, sequential data transfer statement that specifies an external unit. It must not be specified for list-directed or namelist data transfer, for a data transfer statement within a DO CONCURRENT block, nor for a data transfer statement within a DO CONCURRENT block.
Advancing I/O always positions a file at the end of a record, unless an error condition occurs. Nonadvancing I/O can position a file at a character position within the current record.
