WRITE Statement
Statement: Transfers output data to external sequential, direct-access, or internal records.
Sequential
Formatted:
WRITE (eunit, format [, advance] [, asynchronous] [, decimal] [, id] [, pos] [, round] [, sign] [, iostat] [ , err] [, [iomsg])[io-list]
Formatted - List-Directed:
WRITE (eunit, * [, asynchronous] [, decimal] [, delim] [, id] [, pos] [, round] [, sign] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg])[io-list]
Formatted - Namelist:
WRITE (eunit, nml-group [, asynchronous] [, decimal] [, delim] [, id] [, pos] [, round] [, sign] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg])
Unformatted:
WRITE (eunit [, asynchronous] [, id] [, pos] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg])[io-list]
Direct-Access
Formatted:
WRITE (eunit, format, rec [, asynchronous] [, decimal] [, delim] [, id] [, pos] [, round] [, sign] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg])[io-list]
Unformatted:
WRITE (eunit, rec [, asynchronous] [, id] [, pos] [, iostat] [ , err] [, iomsg])[io-list]
Internal
WRITE (iunit, format [, nml-group] [, iostat] [ , err] [, iomsg])[io-list]
Internal Namelist
WRITE (iunit, nml-group [, iostat] [ , err] [, iomsg])[io-list]
eunit |
Is an external unit specifier, optionally prefaced by UNIT=. UNIT= is required if eunit is not the first specifier in the list. |
format |
Is a format specifier. It is optionally prefaced by FMT= if format is the second specifier in the list and the first specifier indicates a logical or internal unit specifier without the optional keyword UNIT=. |
advance |
Is an advance specifier (ADVANCE=c-expr). If the value of c-expr is 'YES', the statement uses advancing input; if the value is 'NO', the statement uses nonadvancing input. The default value is 'YES'. |
asynchronous |
Is an asynchronous specifier (ASYNCHRONOUS=i-expr). If the value of i-expr is 'YES', the statement uses asynchronous input; if the value is 'NO', the statement uses synchronous input. The default value is 'NO'. |
decimal |
Is a decimal mode specifier (DECIMAL=dmode) that evaluates to 'COMMA' or 'POINT'. The default value is 'POINT'. |
delim |
Is a delimiter specifier (DELIM=del). If the value of del is 'APOSTROPHE', apostrophes delimit character constants. If the value is 'QUOTE', quotes delimit character constants. If the value of del is 'NONE', character constants have no delimiters. |
id |
Is an id specifier (ID=id-var). If ASYNCHRONOUS='YES' is specified and the operation completes successfully, the id specifier becomes defined with an implementation-dependent value that can be specified in a future WAIT or INQUIRE statement to identify the particular data transfer operation. If an error occurs, the id specifier variable becomes undefined. |
pos |
Is a pos specifier (POS=p) that indicates a file position in file storage units in a stream file (ACCESS='STREAM'). It can only be specified on a file opened for stream access. If omitted, the stream I/O occurs starting at the next file position after the current file position. |
round |
Is a rounding specifier (ROUND=rmode) that determines the I/O rounding mode for this WRITE statement. If omitted, the rounding mode is unchanged. Possible values are UP, DOWN, ZERO, NEAREST, COMPATIBLE or PROCESSOR_DEFINED. |
sign |
Is a plus sign specifier (SIGN=sn). This controls whether optional plus characters appear in formatted numeric output. |
iostat |
Is the name of a variable to contain the completion status of the I/O operation. Optionally prefaced by IOSTAT=. |
err |
Are branch specifiers if an error (ERR=label) condition occurs. |
iomsg |
Is an I/O message specifier (IOMSG=msg-var). |
io-list |
Is an I/O list: the names of the variables, arrays, array elements, or character substrings from which or to which data will be transferred. Optionally an implied-DO list. |
form |
Is the nonkeyword form of a format specifier (no FMT=). |
* |
Is the format specifier indicating list-directed formatting. (It can also be specified as FMT= *.) |
nml-group |
Is the namelist group specification for namelist I/O. Optionally prefaced by NML=. NML= is required if nml-group is not the second I/O specifier. For more information, see Namelist Specifier. |
rec |
Is the cell number of a record to be accessed directly. It must be prefaced by REC=. |
iunit |
Is an internal unit specifier, optionally prefaced by UNIT=. UNIT= is required if iunit is not the first specifier in the list. It must be a character variable. It must not be an array section with a vector subscript. If an item in io-list is an expression that calls a function, that function must not execute an I/O statement or the EOF intrinsic function on the same external unit as eunit. |
If you specify DECIMAL=, ROUND=, or SIGN= you must also specify FMT= or NML=.
If you specify ID=, you must also specify ASYNCHRONOUS='YES'.
Example
! write to file
open(1,FILE='test.dat')
write (1, '(A20)') namedef
! write with FORMAT statement
WRITE (*, 10) (n, SQRT(FLOAT(n)), FLOAT(n)**(1.0/3.0), n = 1, 100)
10 FORMAT (I5, F8.4, F8.5)
The following shows another example:
WRITE(6,'("Expected ",F12.6)') 2.0
