There are pros and cons for both.
Assume:
print *,(huge(0),i=1,6)
print*,(i,i=1,6)
print*,(i,i=10000,60000,10000)
end
I would argue that
2147483647 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647
1 2 3 4 5 6
10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 60000
is more readable than:
2147483647 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647 2147483647
1 2 3 4 5 6
10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 60000
Whereas for your example, the second format looks better.
On my system, the minimal-width version is used by g95, NAG f95 and sunf95
whereas gfortran and ifort use the wide-spaced version.
