READ Statement

Not all the specifiers can be used at the same time,

 
READ([UNIT=]< unit >, [FMT=]< format >, IOSTAT= 
&

		 < int-variable >, ERR=< label >, END=< label >, &

		  EOR=< label >, ADVANCE=< advance-mode >, &

		 REC=< int-expr >, SIZE=< num-chars >) < output-list > 

where

• < unit > is a number or *.
• < format > is a string or a FORMAT statement label.
• < int-variable > holds a return code, zero means no error.
• < label > is an executable statement label.
• < advance-mode > is 'YES' or `NO'.
• < num-chars > is the number of characters read.
• < int-expr > is a record number (for direct access).

For example

  READ(14,FMT='(3(F10.7,1x))',REC=iexp) a,b,c
  READ(*,'(A)',ADVANCE='NO',EOR=12,SIZE=nch) str
