ACCEPT

Statement: Transfers input data.

Formatted:

ACCEPT form[,io-list]

Formatted - List-Directed:

ACCEPT *[,io-list]

Formatted - Namelist:

ACCEPT 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.

The ACCEPT statement is the same as a formatted, sequential READ statement, except that an ACCEPT statement must never be connected to user-specified I/O units. You can override this restriction by using environment variable FOR_ACCEPT.

Example

In the following example, character data is read from the implicit unit and binary values are assigned to each of the five elements of array CHARAR:

     CHARACTER*10 CHARAR(5)
     ACCEPT 200, CHARAR
200  FORMAT (5A10)
