Intel® Fortran Compiler 16.0 User and Reference Guide
A control edit descriptor takes one of the following forms:
c
cn
nc
c |
Is one of the following format codes: T, TL, TR, X, S, SP, SS, BN, BZ, P, RU, RD, RZ, RN, RC, RP, DC, DP, :, /, \, $, and Q. |
n |
Is a number of character positions. It must be a positive integer literal constant or a variable format expression. No kind parameter can be specified. It cannot be a named constant. The range of n is 1 through 2147483647 (2**31-1) on Intel® 64 architecture; 1 through 32767 (2**15-1) on IA-32 architecture. Actual useful ranges may be constrained by record sizes (RECL) and the file system. |
In general, control edit descriptors are nonrepeatable. The only exception is the slash (/) edit descriptor, which can be preceded by a repeat specification or a * indicating an unlimited repeat count.
The control edit descriptors have the following specific forms:
|
Positional: |
Tn, TLn, TRn, and nX |
|
Sign: |
S, SP, and SS |
|
Blank interpretation: |
BN and BZ |
|
Rounding mode: |
RU, RD, RZ, RN, RC, and RP |
|
Decimal mode: |
DC and DP |
|
Scale factor: |
kP |
|
Miscellaneous: |
:, /, \, $, and Q |
The P edit descriptor is an exception to the general control edit descriptor syntax. It is preceded by a scale factor, rather than a character position specifier.
Control edit descriptors can be grouped in parentheses and preceded by a group repeat specification.
