--- Comment #6 from Jerry DeLisle <jvdelisle at charter dot net> ---
I found the DEC F77 reference. I wanted to capture this somewhere for future
reference:
o MESSAGE: Extension to FORTRAN-77: nonstandard FORMAT
statement item
EXPLANATION: The following format field descriptors are
extensions to FORTRAN-77:
Descriptor Aspect
---------- ------
$ All forms
A,L,I,F,E,G,D Default field width forms
P Without scale factor
and then:
$
In a format specification, the dollar sign character ($) modifies
the carriage control specified by the first character of the
record. It only affects the files for which the 'FORTRAN' carriage
control attribute is in effect.
On U*X systems, it also affects files if 'LIST' is in effect.
In an input statement, the $ descriptor is ignored.
In an output statement, the following rules apply:
- If the first character of the record is 0, 1, or
ASCII NUL, the $ descriptor is ignored.
- If the first character of the record is a space or
plus sign (+), the $ descriptor suppresses carriage
return (after printing the record).
For terminal I/O, whenever trailing carriage return control is
suppressed by the $ descriptor, a typed response follows output on
the same line.
I am working on it.
