PRINT

Statement: Displays output on the screen. TYPE is a synonym for PRINT. All forms and rules for the PRINT statement also apply to the TYPE statement.

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 environment variable FOR_PRINT.

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'
