Statement: Rewrites the current record.
Formatted:
REWRITE (eunit, format[, iostat] [, err]) [io-list]
Unformatted:
REWRITE (eunit[, iostat][ , err]) [io-list]
eunit |
Is an external unit specifier ([UNIT=]io-unit). |
format |
Is a format specifier ([FMT=]format). |
iostat |
Is a status specifier (IOSTAT=i-var). |
err |
Is a branch specifier (ERR=label) if an error condition occurs. |
io-list |
Is an I/O list. |
In the REWRITE statement, data (translated if formatted; untranslated if unformatted) is written to the current (existing) record in a file with direct access.
The current record is the last record accessed by a preceding, successful sequential or direct-access READ statement.
Between a READ and REWRITE statement, you should not specify any other I/O statement (except INQUIRE) on that logical unit. Execution of any other I/O statement on the logical unit destroys the current-record context and causes the current record to become undefined.
Only one record can be rewritten in a single REWRITE statement operation.
The output list (and format specification, if any) must not specify more characters for a record than the record size. (Record size is specified by RECLin an OPEN statement.)
If the number of characters specified by the I/O list (and format, if any) do not fill a record, blank characters are added to fill the record.
In the following example, the current record (contained in the relative organization file connected to logical unit 3) is updated with the values represented by NAME, AGE, and BIRTH:
REWRITE (3, 10, ERR=99) NAME, ,AGE, BIRTH 10 FORMAT (A16, I2, A8)
