OPEN: CARRIAGECONTROL Specifier

The CARRIAGECONTROL specifier indicates the type of carriage control used when a file is displayed at a terminal. It takes the following form:

CARRIAGECONTROL = cc

cc

Is a scalar default character expression that evaluates to one of the following values:

'FORTRAN'

Indicates normal Fortran interpretation of the first character.

'LIST'

Indicates one line feed between records.

'NONE'

Indicates no carriage control processing.

The default for binary (Windows) and unformatted files is 'NONE'. The default for formatted files is 'LIST'. However, if you specify compiler option vms or fpscomp general, and the unit is connected to a terminal, the default is 'FORTRAN'.

On output, if a file was opened with CARRIAGECONTROL='FORTRAN' in effect or the file was processed by the fortpr format utility, the first character of a record transmitted to a line printer or terminal is typically a character that is not printed, but is used to control vertical spacing.
